Charlie Sykes is full of shit when he says Republicans have ended "lock step following of Trump"

Tell it to the Republicans who voted against the Electoral votes.

Sure, he names Lindsey Graham and Bill Barr, but saying "It's not the same party of Trump that it was a month ago" is stretching it.

This is on MSNBC right now, so no link.

And to Andrea Mitchell's credit, she DID say that Bill Barr's remarks were more about Barr than Trump.

But the Republican party is NOT alive and well and in rebellion against Trump. It IS the party of Trump.

Those that seemed to encourage these riff raff (such as Hawley's clenched fist salute to protestors) should be censored at a minimum, or disbarred (if an attorney which he is), and/or removed from office.
