Trump's 'Big Lie' imperils Republicans who don't embrace it
WASHINGTON (AP) Allegiance to a lie has become a test of loyalty to Donald Trump and a means of self-preservation for Republicans.
Trump's discredited allegations about a stolen election did nothing to save his presidency when courtrooms high and low, state governments and ultimately Congress meeting in the chaos of an insurrection powered by his grievances affirmed the legitimacy of his defeat and the honesty of the process that led to it.
Now those Big Lie allegations, no closer to true than before, are getting a second, howling wind.
Republicans are expected to believe the falsehoods, pretend they do or at bare minimum not let it be known that they dont. State Republican leaders from Georgia to Arizona have been flamed by Trump or his followers for standing against the lies.

If they want to self-immolate on the altar of Donald Trump who am I to stop them.
