Many Senate Republicans Were Done With Trump After Jan. 6. Now They Want Him Back In The White House

WASHINGTON (AP) — Three years ago, Donald Trump had few friends left in the Senate.

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell declared in a speech that Trump was “practically and morally responsible” for the violent Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol by spreading “wild falsehoods” about election fraud and trying to overturn his reelection defeat.

Trump is now the party’s presumptive nominee to challenge President Joe Biden. And on Thursday, he returned to Capitol Hill to meet with Republicans to enthusiastic and near-unanimous support from the Senate GOP conference, including many of the same senators who condemned him for his actions as he tried to block President Joe Biden’s legitimate victory. McConnell shook his hand, multiple times, and gave him a fist bump.
Nancy Pelosi video just confirmed she was responsible for not having the national guard at the Capitol on 1/6.
 
Politics is the business of getting re-elected. Many rightys who hate Trump are going along with him to try and save their seats. They are like Lindsey who told the truth about Trump until Daffy won, then pivoted 180 degrees, in public. When Trump keels over, many Repubs will say they really did not like him. Many Trump voters will say they did not vote for him.
I'll be damned; I thought it was to serve one's constituents.
 
VP Pence is on record testifying he called the Department of Defense and was told only the US President can call the National Guard in Washington DC.
Lie. Speaker of the House is responsible for Capitol's defense.
