The Republican Party

Republicans Promised to Banish Jan. 6 Insurrectionists. A Year Later, They’ve Purged Jan. 6 Critics

In the immediate aftermath of Jan. 6, 2021, a different path for the GOP appeared to have opened: The party’s top leaders, and even some of Trump’s lapdogs, turned on him. “The president bears responsibility for [the] attack by mob rioters,” insisted House minority leader Kevin McCarthy, calling for a congressional censure of the president. Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell declared Trump was “practically and morally responsible” for unleashing the violence, insisting that “the people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president.”

Even Lindsey Graham, the South Carolina senator and longtime Trump toady, blasted POTUS for demanding that former Vice President Pence block certification of the Electoral College vote, calling it “the most offensive concept in the world” and insisting it would amount to a single person deciding to “disenfranchise 155 million people.” Citing a litany of court rulings against Trump’s election challenges, and the absence of evidence of fraud, Graham declared: “Enough is enough” and “Count me out!”

OK. Let call it a Putsch. It fits pretty well. Do you know who else had a failed putsch?

Fuck'em. Put Trump and the other putsch leaders in jail. 

You shouldn't be able to try to overthrow a presidential election and walk away.
