Does he continue with the 'stop the steal' bs? Or does he now back off of that discussion?
We all know that he is going to be doing a number of rallies going forward. What does he say about the 'big lie'? Does he make it bigger or does he back off of the whole topic?
What about all those candidates that he has endorsed for Nov 2022 election? Do they stop talking about the election being stolen or do they continue to appease TFG?

The real question is how people like Kevin McCarthy decide to act. As for candidates, I think theyll take the temperature of their voters. If it were me, Id be backing away from him as fast as I possibly could.

(11,767 posts)If he backs off of the "Big Lie" then he is acknowledging that it was always a lie, that he lost, and that he perpetrated a fraud. It would mean the end of him psychologically. He is going to lean in and continue to try and erode confidence in the committee. Psychologically, it would be the only consistent move.
As for the others, they may try to back away. Some of the crazier ones will stake out some kind of claim, but most are probably looking for some kind of way to distance themselves.

After watching these hearings - I believe he's got to be insane if he sticks by the 'big lie'. Everybody that's watched the hearing know it is a 'big lie' and a mechanism to 'grift'.
