Donald Trump is not the problem - the problem is the Republican Party. [View all]

Nicki Haley gave an interview where she said that what Donald Trump did was wrong. Furthermore, she said the Party could never do that again. Then, she said she would vote for Trump in 2024 if he was the nominee?? What the hell is wrong with her!

John Boehner has a book out right now which he is making the rounds and trying to sell. He was very critical of Donald Trump and the insurrection of January 6th. He acted as if he had found religion. Then he said he had voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020? What the hell!

Mitch McConnell gave a speech on the floor of the Senate. He came right out and said Donald Trump was responsible for inciting the insurrection of January 6th and that we had a justice system and civil courts that could handle the crimes he committed. This was after he voted to acquit him in his impeachment trial. For God's sake, if you believe he is that guilty, you do not acquit! What the hell!

Every Republican in the House and Senate knows that he incited the insurrection and is responsible for what happened in our Capitol. It was sedition. It was criminal.

Yet, they continue to support the incompetent loser.

Who is to blame?
