Why did they change their minds? [View all]

People like Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, and others were quick to condemn Donald Trump's actions, and lack of action, on January 6th. But they have done a total 360 flip-flop since then?

Lindsey Graham stood on the floor of the Senate and said he had "had it". "Write me off" he said. Trump had gone too far for even Lindsey. Not surprising, he flip-flopped almost immediately. But that is nothing new for two-faced Lindsey.

Mitch McConnell stood up and said that Donald Trump was "responsible" for the attack on our Capitol and that there were civil and criminal statutes to handle anything he had done. "He got away with nothing, yet", he said. Six months later, Mitch is firmly under the thumb of Donald Trump, as is almost all of the Republican caucus.

Kevin McCarthy may be the most obvious of all the flip-floppers. He denounced the attack on our Capitol and it was reported that he got into a shouting match with Donald Trump because he did not help when they needed it. That would be a deal-breaker for most folks, but not Kevin. He is the supreme opportunist, if nothing else. He wants to be Speaker more than he desires his next breath.

That is a question reporters should be asking all these flip-floppers. Why did you change your mind from what you said immediately after January 6th. If you were not telling the truth then, how can people believe you now? They should be required to respond to their flip-flops.
