.... The new ad from the Republican Accountability Project, set to air on Fox News on the first anniversary of the attack, focuses on five lawmakers who were sharply critical of Trump last year, but since either changed their tune or went silent.
They told the truth then. Why wont they now? the text on the screen reads after clips featuring comments by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.): ....
The Republican Accountability Project has been running ads targeting members of the party who enabled Trump, complete with an online Hall of Shame of 13 lawmakers who actively invented and disseminated lies, misinformation and conspiracy theories.
The spot is set to run during Fox & Friends, Hannity and Tucker Carlson Tonight on Thursday ....

Some Republicans have made it clear that they cannot be trusted with power
The balance has turned against the responsible, reasonable wing of the Republican Party. Most Republicans in Congress abetted the insurrection on January 6 and ignored, excused, or even participated in the dog whistles to QAnon and other dangerous conspiracy theories.
Most Republicans went along with the trend because it was politically safe, but a few of them drove the trend. They actively invented and disseminated lies, misinformation, and conspiracy theories to rile up their base and advance their own careers at the expense of the country and the Constitution.
They have made it clear that they can never be trusted with power. To ensure that as few of them as possible return to Congress in 2022, we will recruit and support primary candidates against them through our political action committee where strategically viable.

(291 posts)A vast majority of the Repubs I speak with don't agree at all with Trump and 1/6, but choose the cowardly route and stay silent as expected by the party. If someone would stand up en mass, they would start to follow. ie, most are sheep
Right now, Trump made it party first, policy - policy? umm, yeah, it's to oppose whatever the Dems want :/

(14,015 posts)Collectively, they've shown little circumspection.
The impetus for reconciling with reality would be most meaningful, though, if it comes from within their own ranks.

(36,461 posts)This page was really interesting to scroll through. There are 7 republican senators who scored "excellent" on democracy. Will they vote for a voting rights bill?
