This is proof of everything the GOP presidential contenders warned us about in 2016. Trump has destroyed their party. They cannot admit trump said the election was rigged before it happened, refused the peaceful transfer of power, lost the election, lied about it and invited all the people who believed his lies to come to the Capitol January 6 for a wild time. He then whipped them up snd directed them to the rotunda while he watched from the safety of a catered riot watch tent complete with his Pandora soundtrack of macho man by the village people.

When it got deadly, he watched and told McCarthy that maybe those rioters were more upset about the election than he was. He could have stopped it but issued a video that said stop but justified them and told them he loved them. Like a bitch he refused to go to Biden's inauguration and sent lawyers to file frivolous lawsuits with no facts. This ultimately ended when his lawyers were forced to admit under oath that their claims were meant for the court of public opinion, not a federal court. Powell and guilliani are now being sued for their lies and their defense is that no reasonable person could ever take their word seriously or credibly.

Now the house republicans that voted to steal the election are doubling down. They have tried to tamp down their lies from stopping the steal to election concerns. They have gone from condemning the insurrection in the strongest terms to now denying it ever really happened. They have learned from Holocaust deniers that when you can't defend a crime of such proportions, you deny it ever happened and attack the people speaking the truth. And here we are.
