GOP senator slams his party for 'winking at QAnon' — and sounds the alarm about its influence
When a violent mob of insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, some of them could be seen showing off the letter "Q" — representing the QAnon conspiracy cult. The attack itself was seen by many adherents as a culmination of the QAnon worldview.
Sen. Ben Sasse, a conservative Nebraska Republican who openly opposed efforts to overturn President-elect Joe Biden's Electoral College victory, examines QAnon's influence on his party in an article published by The Atlantic this week. And the senator stresses that other Republicans need to publicly condemn QAnon and other extremists for the good of their party.
When it comes to President Trump potentially pardoning himself, he should be careful what he wishes for, according to USA Today contributors Philip Allen Lacovara, Jeffrey Abramson, and Dennis Aftergut.
A 1974 ruling from the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel said that a President cannot pardon himself, but the contributors write that courts haven't had an opportunity to test that conclusion -- yet.
Trump is furious with GOP leader Kevin McCarthy -- even though he didn't support impeachment
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is on President Donald Trump's bad side this week, despite the fact that he spoke out against impeachment.
New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman tweeted Monday that Trump has spent the past several days continuing to tell his White House aides that he "won" the election.
