Intelligencer columnist Ed Kilgore pointed to the "selective amnesia" among Republicans when it comes to the Jan. 6 attack. They're desperately trying to downplay the attack, and some are outright claiming that it was all fake. But then there are the Republicans who want Americans to believe that it was merely one isolated incident and there's nothing to worry about.

"But in some ways the more alarming development has been that Republicans who remain openly opposed to the attempted coup nonetheless tend to treat it as an isolated moment of lawlessness in an otherwise perfectly good presidency," wrote Kilgore. "That means none of the many, many months of planning that went into [Donald] Trump’s predictable effort to deny and then overturn his defeat are acknowledged, or the likelihood that he could try it again in 2024. Most Republicans are united in that feat of amnesia. And that’s understandable since nearly all of them supported his reelection in 2020, and most will accept his renomination in 2024 if it happens."

What is not being said about the ongoing feud between Donald Trump and Mike Pence is key to understanding the internal dynamics of the GOP, according to a new analysis in The Washington Post.

The feud recently blew up — more than one year after Pence refused Trump's pleas to overturn the election — when Trump released a statement admitting it was his goal to overturn the election and saying Pence should be investigated for not overturning the election.

Attention was drawn to discrimination by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) after a professor at Brigham Young University apologized for comments about Black church members serving as priests.

"An international Young Men leader for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints apologized late Monday for statements about Black people he made Sunday night during a regional fireside in Alpine, Utah. Brother Brad Wilcox, second counselor in the Young Men general presidency and a professor of ancient scripture at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, posted the apology on his official church leadership Facebook page on Monday evening," the Deseret News reported Tuesday.

Nikki Haley has mastered the art of the political windsock, quickly changing direction depending on who she's talking to, Republican Ana Navarro once said. When the political winds change, Haley moves fast to make it sound like it was her belief all along.

"Does Nikki Haley have any idea how ridiculous she sounds?" Charlie Sykes asked opening his Tuesday newsletter for The Bulwark. "That is, of course, a rhetorical question, because she is, apparently beyond caring."

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) and former Trump UN Ambassador Nikki Haley have shown in recent comments that they do not understand the stakes of the Jan. 6 insurrection, according to a new CNN analysis.

CNN editor-at-large Chris Cillizza noted Haley's response to a question about the ongoing feud between Donald Trump and Mike Pence on the question of whether Pence could have overturned the 2020 presidential election.

An attempt by former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) to defend Donald Trump from vice president Mike Pence's criticism landed with a thud on Monday after she complained Republicans should not attack Republicans.

With Pence saying the former president was "wrong" in his attempt to have the former VP overturn the election in a highly-publicized speech on Friday, Haley was quick to run to Trump's defense during an appearance on Fox News.

The Republican National Committee frustrated GOP senators who were hoping to move on from talking about the Jan. 6 insurrection, but MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski agreed that Donald Trump's continued presence on the stage made that impossible.

The party is siding with Trump against Reps. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), the only GOP lawmakers on the House select committee, and Brzezinski unloaded on conservatives who are begging to turn the page on the U.S. Capitol riot.

Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and ambassador to the U.N. who is widely seen as a White House hopeful, is destroying her brand with her mimicking of Donald Trump, according to a new analysis.

Longtime centrist Democratic strategist Ed Kilgore wrote in New York magazine that Haley is "one of those Republicans often considered 'reasonable' by Democrats and independents; she’s sometimes floated as a congenial face for a post-Trump GOP."
