It's been three weeks since President Donald Trump told his supporters at a Washington rally that they had to "fight" for him, and he would walk with them to the Capitol to complain to Congress about the 2020 election. Now Republicans want everyone to just "move on."

After terrified lawmakers panicked and were rushed to safety due to armed and violent people rushing the Capitol, they decided they weren't going to protest the 2020 election anymore. The incident left Americans rattled, according to a YouGov poll citing "62% of respondents said they were disappointed. Half said they were angry (51%) or ashamed (50%), with Democrats being more likely than the country overall to feel that way (74% angry, 66% ashamed)."

"The View" co-host Meghan McCain bashed fellow Republicans who are cynically trying to woo Donald Trump supporters with phony acts.

McCain has been saying the party is in shambles since Trump tried to overturn his election loss, and she ripped Nikki Haley and Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) for going along with the ousted president's lies as he faces impeachment for inciting an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

During Donald Trump's four years as president of the United States, many Never Trump conservatives argued that Trump's movement was not motivated by traditional conservatism and a belief in smaller government, but by a longing for authoritarianism. Trump's presidency, much to the delight of Never Trumpers, ended on January 20 when President Joe Biden was sworn in. But author/attorney Richard North Patterson, in an article published by the conservative website The Bulwark on January 26, warns that an appetite for fascism is still alive and well in the Republican Party.

"Social science suggests that a majority of Trump voters are instinctive authoritarians," Patterson explains. "But one cannot separate Trumpism from the inherent character of the party which spawned him…. The word 'fascist' too often precedes anti-historical histrionics, but the term is useful in deconstructing the devolution of Republicanism into the minoritarian-authoritarian saboteur of pluralist democracy."

Former President Donald Trump's former Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, is being strongly criticized after telling Fox News, "I don't even think there's a basis for impeachment." Trump incited the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol that resulted in five deaths, including the killing of a police officer. At least 134 law enforcement officers were assaulted during the attempted coup. And a majority of voters, 52%, blame Trump for the attack.

But according to Haley, Trump deserves "a break," and those who support conviction in his Senate trial should instead just "move on."

Former President Donald Trump has hired Butch Bowers, a longtime Republican attorney with experience in election law, to represent him in the Senate's upcoming impeachment trial, which could begin in a number of days or weeks, POLITICO reports.

The hiring comes after Trump struggled to find a defense team since lawyers that defended him in his previous impeachment trial said the case against him is much stronger this time.

The long-held Republican nightmare that a champion of working-class people and the common good—one who has dedicated his political career to curbing poverty and injustice while denouncing corporate greed, endless war, and the cruelty of a for-profit health system that leaves millions upon millions uninsured or without affordable access to care—would assume the powerful position of chairing the Senate Budget Committee is about to become a reality.

"Time to face the harsh reality, socialist Bernie Sanders will become the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee. He has vowed to use his position to enact his progressive agenda on healthcare, climate, infrastructure spending, and cutting defense spending," Nikki Haley tweeted Saturday.

With Donald Trump on his way out the door after failing to win re-election, top contenders for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination are in "open warfare" with each other as they maneuver to fill the void left by the man who has been the face of the GOP for four years.

Although Trump keeps suggesting that he will make another run, 2024 GOP hopefuls aren't so sure and are already ramping up attacks on each other in an effort to diminish their rivals long before the primaries begin.
