Harvard constitutional scholar Alan Dershowitz took aim at the attempt to disbar Sens. Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley for objecting to the Electoral College certification, comparing the effort to “McCarthyism.”

“The idea that 5,000 law students and professors want to disbar them because they disagree with what they said, just returns McCarthyism in a new form,” Dershowitz said during an appearance on Real America’s Voice. “It’s very, very frightening how many people are prepared to undo our Constitution in the interest of preventing Trump from spending his last five, six, seven days in office.”
