False election claims by Trump that spurred the Capitol attack have become a driving force in the Republican Party
Nearly a third of the 390 GOP candidates around the country who have expressed interest in running for statewide office this cycle have publicly supported a partisan audit of the 2020 vote, downplayed the Jan. 6 attack or directly questioned Biden’s victory.
They include 10 candidates running for secretary of state, a position with sway over elections in many states.
Trump’s attacks have led to escalating threats of violence
Election officials in at least 17 states have collectively received hundreds of threats to their personal safety or their lives since Jan. 6, with a concentration in the six states where Trump has focused his attacks on the election results.
Ominous emails and calls have spiked immediately after the former president and his allies raised new claims.
If anything, I should be mad that the GOP couldn’t cook up anything nearly as creative as Russian collusion.
All they could manage was a rag tag group of hillbillies led by FBI operatives to build gallows and break windows? Hell, I can get more than that from the super bowl winning city.
It’s like the republicans aren’t even trying.
