Voters won't be "impressed" by reminders of former President Donald Trump's "sleaze" oozing out of his New York criminal trial, according to anti-Trump conservative Charlie Sykes.

'They don't care!' Morning Joe mocks GOP for risking majority with 'bizarre' stunts

Many hardline conservatives represent heavily gerrymandered districts that ensure their own seat is safe, and the "Morning Joe" host said those Republicans would rather rant and rave on the House floor and on social media than take responsibility for governance, so they'd almost prefer to let Democrats take control.
