1. IKR !?!?! "they failed !?!" You enabled !!!

[samplegirl]

2. Nope and Nope

Never!

[onecaliberal]

3. They're part of why this happened fuck them

[madaboutharry]

4. No, they are not heroes.

But they aren’t guilty of treason. Very low bar.

[marybourg]

5. In their eyes.

6. Think strategically. We want to use this to split the Republican party into two.

We should work hard to pit the Trump and Anti-Trump Republicans against each other. Figure out how we can use it.

7. Right, reframing themselves as heroes. And holding America together single handedly. nt

8. They need to stop talking...vote and get this over with!

[Zoonart]

9. Wow... they don't miss a beat do they?

They jump right up on the pile they created and declare their own hero-ship.
I may puke.

10. I have to say, it must be the first time

McConnell spoke more than one sentence without talking trash about the Democratic Party. Not a hero, just unlike himself. Pence, not so much.

[Ilsa]

11. No, not heroes. Covering their asses.

They know now that democracy is truly on the line. They tried not to believe it for four years. But if both parties can unify for the evening in order to do the business of the nation, if they can jointly condemn the insurrection, then the rest of the trumpers will know it is OVER.

13. Repigs

I do not want to hear from them, have it on mute now.

Senator Schumer called out tRump.

[Vivienne235729]

12. No one has called them heroes. But they put their shit aside and came together

To do what is right. And what they said is appropriate and necessary. We needed to hear that from our republican representatives. Maybe even moreso than from our democratic representatives.

[Ilsa]

14. My thinking is the same.

Remaining divided while under threat enables the traitors.

[live love laugh]

15. I agree that we needed to hear from them--just not after 4 years' silence until today's attack.

They bear responsibility and don’t deserve any kudos for creating the chaos they now condemn.

16. Who is calling them heroes? (n/t)

[live love laugh]

17. I don't think anybody is calling them heroes outright--but they're positioning themselves

as such by mouthing support of the democratic process when they’ve acted treasonously even up until this morning’s silence as Republicans were attempting to thwart the certification process itself.

[SMC22307]

18. That I'll pretty much agree with. And they know a vast majority of Americans...

including whatever "sane" Republicans are left won't stand for an angry MAGAt mob storming the Capitol. Trump can huff and puff all he wants; same as his grifter sons threatening lawmakers who oppose their father. Trump is finished. Twitter has suspended him for 12 hours and will likely ban him after he's out of office. That'll help quiet things down a bit, even though there's still Facebook and Parler.

20. Nobody. nt
