U.S. Congress

In an op-ed published Wednesday, The Denver Post defended the Republican congresswoman from a wave of social media attacks in wake of the violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Amid an intraparty civil war, the GOP was battling itself over whether to go to bat one final time for the president or use the opportunity as a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Republicans have little, if anything, in common with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez when it comes to policies, but they've taken notice of her political prowess.

"Congresswoman Lauren Boebert's office is looking for a communications director to join her highly active communications team to amplify her work to—among other things—undermine democracy, support violent mobs, and promote QAnon conspiracy theories," the listing reads.

"Certainly November's elections did not hand any side a mandate for sweeping ideological change," McConnell said from the Senate floor on Tuesday.

They argue Samaritan's Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, nonprofits he heads, "are complicit" in spreading misinformation about the election.

"We do need to find a way to hold the president accountable," said the freshman congresswoman from South Carolina Sunday.

The freshman Republican congressman urged his party "to restore trust—to restore the trust of the voting public."

"There's a menace to him in private that you don't pick up in public," he said.

The former Texas congressman accused Cruz of sedition and called for his "expulsion" from the Senate, following the deadly Capitol riot.

Campaign finance records show that while many corporations are re-evaluating whom to support in Congress after the Capitol riot, the GOP duo is largely insulated from any monetary fallout thanks to a large proportion of individual donors.

Any attempt to analogize President Donald Trump's recent inflammatory speech to the very different act of shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater is either self-deceptive or self-serving.

Whether the outgoing president will be convicted for "incitement of insurrection" is truly an unknown, as Trump's former firewall of GOP support on Capitol Hill has diminished significantly since helping to incite the January 6 riot.

Affidavit states so-called "QAnon Shaman" was part of a violent mob who plotted to attack "traitors" in government.

Factors like employment instability, financial hardship and food insecurity (all under-addressed in 2020's relief packages) exacerbate the effects of the pandemic and are directly linked to poor health outcomes.

The varying rationales from many of the president's allies illustrated the lack of coordinated strategy to rebut the assertion that he fueled the insurrection against the Capitol.

The House of Representatives impeached Trump on Wednesday and unlike in 2019, when no Republicans voted in favor of impeachment, this time around members of the president's own party joined the effort.

"Some say the riots were caused by antifa. There is absolutely no evidence of that, and conservatives should be the first to say so," the Republican leader said.
