The minority party, aka GOP, keeps forgetting, they are the minority party. The last time, the incumbent lost the Presidency, Senate and House was when Herbert Hoover was POTUS. The current GOP is full of sound and fury and lies signifying ignorance.
I mean, you can ask the leaders, but you can also just watch what they`re doing. In the House today, multiple Republican members of Congress trying to pitch the idea that the January 6th attack on the U.S. capitol to try to stop the certification of the election, it wasn`t that bad. It was actually kind of nice.
One Republican congressman from Georgia saying the attackers were basically behaving like tourists, and what`s the big deal. That was Andrew Clyde, Republican from Georgia.
Another Republican congressman from South Carolina, Congressman Ralph Norman, saying there is no reason to believe the people who attacked the Capitol were Trump supporters. Who took a poll of them?
Republican congressman from Arizona, Paul Gosar, a different one from Georgia, Jody Hice, both saying today Trump supporters were the real victims on January 6th, and they`re all being framed by law enforcement, even though they definitely did nothing wrong in the Capitol attack. Why are you even calling it an attack?
Trump`s former defense secretary, a junior level Pentagon employee who Trump inexplicably made defense secretary right at the end of his term, Christopher Miller, he testified today about the January 6 attack. He wrote in his written opening statement to the committee that he believed Trump`s lies about the election were what caused his supporters to go attack the Capitol on January 6.
That was in his written opening statement. But when it came time for him to actually say those words out loud in his testimony in Congress today, he is skipped that part. And then said oh, actually, he doesn`t believe that anymore.

How long before these GQP congressmen invite Trump to make speeches in front of both chambers?
