McConnell rips into MTG!

Oh my god I love to see Republicans fighting!

https://thehill.com/homenews/house/536850-mcconnell-says-taylor-greene-a-cancer-to-gop-country?rnd=1612224945

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday blasted Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s embrace of “loony lies and conspiracy theories” as a “cancer for the Republican Party.”

“Somebody who’s suggested that perhaps no airplane hit the Pentagon on 9/11, that horrifying school shootings were pre-staged, and that the Clintons crashed JFK Jr.’s airplane is not living in reality,” McConnell said in a statement first shared with The Hill.

New: archived Parler posts show that Congressman Matt Gaetz's press assistant was cheering on Capitol rioters from across the street, even after they broke through multiple police barricades.

Romney criticizes Trump's endorsement of MTG

Republicans in disarray! IMHO, we need to focus as much attention as we can on strife within the Republican party.

Lies of a feather flock together: Marjorie Taylor Greene’s nonsense and the “big lie” of a stolen election.

No organizing resolution in the Senate yet

Could someone explain why we do not have an organizing resolution in the Senate yet?

https://twitter.com/jamiedupree/status/1354905784438706180

The Senate adjourns until Monday afternoon. Senate Majority Leader Schumer made no mention of any agreement with Republicans on the organizing resolution. So - GOP Senators are still in charge of committees at least into Monday.

Interesting: Mark Zaid representing a senior Capitol Police officer

Wonder what this is about?

My firm (w/support from @wbaidlaw) is rep'ing senior @CapitolPolice official to ensure client can lawfully reveal to appropriate oversight authorities, incl Congress, all they know abt #insurrection events of Jan 6, 2021.

We look forward to working cooperatively w/agency.
