🔥@BenSasse: “The violence...is not a protest gone awry or the work of “a few bad apples.” It is the blossoming of a rotten seed that took root in the @GOP some time ago & has been nourished by treachery, poor political judgment & COWARDICE.”

“January 6 is a new red-letter day in US history...because a subset of the invaders apparently were attempting to disrupt a constitutionally mandated meeting of the Congress, kidnap the @VP & somehow force him to declare Trump the victor in an election he LOST.”🤬

🔥”When Trump leaves office, my party faces a choice: We can dedicate ourselves to defending the Constitution and perpetuating our best American institutions and traditions, or we can be a party of conspiracy theories, cable-news fantasies, and the ruin that comes with them.”

👏🏼”Until last week, many party leaders and consultants thought they could preach the Constitution while winking at QAnon. They can’t. The @GOP must reject conspiracy theories or be consumed by them. Now is the time to decide what this party is about.”

FINALLY.🙄

💥”The newly elected Representative @mtgreenee is cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. She once ranted that ‘there’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take this global cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles out, and I think we have the president to do it.’”🙄

🔥WOW. Sasse: “During her campaign, @GOPLeader McCarthy had a choice: disavow her campaign and potentially lose a Republican seat, or welcome her into his caucus and try to keep a lid on her ludicrous ideas. McCarthy FAILED the leadership test and sat on the sidelines.”💥

Sasse: “If the #GOP is to have a future outside the fever dreams of internet trolls, we have to call out falsehoods and conspiracy theories unequivocally. We have to repudiate people who peddle those lies.”

EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD WANT THIS.🇺🇸
