In a statement provided to Mediaite, Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) said he is standing with Trump.
This is more false news from a CNN political analyst, as I was one of President Trumps top defenders during impeachment and strongly support his legal efforts to ensure that every legal vote is counted, Braun said.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) and Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) likewise professed allegiance to the president, in statements from their spokespeople given to the Washington Examiner.

(11,387 posts)in the case of Grassley (and I suspect most of the others). He's the epitome of a Bob Dole Republican -- that has absolutely turned himself inside out to mollify the Tea Party (and now the orange cultism) that has become the Republican party. Much like Collins, he sometimes mouths words about principle and backbone -- but when pressed may be counted on in failing to produce one. Whither thou leadest ... There is brother Charles.

(5,445 posts)when he voted for one article of impeachment, since he knew that Trump was guilty and then criticized Trump's actions after the election. 1 out of 53! How sad that the GOP is completely beholden to its base and not to America.
