Here’s What The Republicans Who Pledged To Challenge Biden’s Win Are Saying Now
Jan. 6 - Lawmakers who supported President Donald Trump’s desperate crusade to overturn the election are condemning pro-Trump riots—and while some have reversed their position on objecting to Joe Biden’s win, Sen. Josh Hawley continued question the election results.
Hawley, who spearheaded plans for GOP members to formally object to the Electoral College results, called on the Capitol rioters to be prosecuted—but continued to say that Congress is the appropriate place to raise concerns about fraud, and insisted that there were irregularities in the election without providing any evidence.
Sen. Ted Cruz called on rioters to leave the Capitol building and condemned violence—but Cruz, who was also a prominent voice against certifying Biden’s win, said that referring the pro-Trump riots “sedition” was “false” and “reckless.”
Sen. Tommy Tuberville has not released a statement about the situation so far.
A number of congressional Republicans—including Washington Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, Sens. Kelly Loeffler and Steve Daines--reversed course and said they would certify the results.
Sens. Roger Marshall, Mike Braun, John Kennedy, Marsha Blackburn, Steve Daines, Bill Hagerty, Ron Johnson, James Lankford, Cynthia Lummis as well as Reps. Mo Brooks and Matt Gaetz all condemned violence and said they supported the efforts of law enforcement to protect the Capitol.
Rep. Paul Gosar said he doesn’t want anyone to “get hurt,” but continued to call for an audit of the presidential election results and implied Antifa was behind the riot, while noted QAnon believer Marjorie Taylor Greene called for the violence to end and continued support for “election integrity.”
CHIEF CRITICSDemocratic Rep. Joaquin Castro called on Cruz and Hawley to immediately resign, while Steve Schmidt, a former GOP strategist turned Democrat, said the senators should be censured. continue to read

The Cops Opened the Gates for Trump Supporters at the Capitol
As right-wing mobs stormed the U.S. Capitol this evening, Capitol Hill police stood idly by, moving barricades to let them in and taking selfies with members of the mob.
Jan. 7 - Six months ago, armed police in riot gear closed the streets around Capitol Hill and stood on the steps of the Capitol building, waiting for peaceful protesters who were gathering to demand justice for Black lives and protesting against violent and racist terror. Today, the same forces stood almost idly by as a far-right mob swarmed Capitol Hill, protesting the results of an election they’ve been whipped up by Donald Trump to believe was stolen.
The evidence is clear: videos all over social media show Capitol police opening the gates and removing the barricades that stood between the throngs of protesters and the Capitol building. Within the building too, cops are shown offering no resistance -- actually retreating — as the rioters move further and further into the building. continue to read
