Showing Original Post only (View all)There Has Been Much Speculation Here On DU That TFG Or Putin Are Blackmailing Repugs..... [View all]
and that is why they are acting like they are acting with respect to protecting TFG, the big lie and discounting the 1/6 insurrection.
I'm curious - has any journalist put the question to Liz Cheney or Adam Kinzinger if they know if members of the Repug Party are being blackmailed into their silence and complicity?
If they know - would they actually say anything?
I'm asking this question because I just can't believe that all the Repugs in both the House, Senate and in the States are all in agreement with TFG and the dismantling of democracy.
