The Republican Party schism may end up tearing GOP leadership from the House and Senate apart

[mfcorey1]

As the Republican Party moves forward after a tumultuous four years led by President Donald Trump, Congressional GOP leadership seems to be tearing apart.


Experts told Insider that most Republican lawmakers are still trying to assess what role Trump will have in the party and how much sway he continues to have with voters, but each chamber seems to be handling the uncertainty differently.

Last week, freshman GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, an avid Trump supporter, received a slew of criticism over past expressions of support for political violence and conspiracy theories. However, the response from Republican leadership in each chamber was notably different.


Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said the embrace of conspiracy theories was a "cancer for the Republican Party," in an apparent reference to Greene. He said anyone who suggested some of the things Greene has, including that some school shootings were staged false-flag events, "is not living in reality."
