Republicans have come to the realization that Trump will be their nominee.

And they have decided to support and promote his candidacy, lies and crimes and all. That is who they are.

They have made the choice to lie about January 6th and all the crimes that have been committed by their nominee. Power is of utmost importance to them.

Senator Mike Lee of Utah is the latest example. He has decided to promote the conspiracy theory that it was the FBI that was leading the attack upon our Capitol on January 6th and posts photos of "an FBI agent" flashing his badge during the attack. (The fact is that the person he says is an "FBI agent is now doing time for his part in the insurrection).

The sad part is that Mike Lee knows it.

They are going to ride this horse until it drops dead.

I can’t wait to hear what they say when Trump is is behind bars during the election.

They are sunk and they know it.

He's just furthering the cause of disassembling the American Experiment and covering his own ass bc he--like Cruz and Hawley--were participants in the Heritage Foundation's wet dream: One Party Rule, forever. They claim to be 'patriots,' when in fact they're sedition weasels.

Vote. Them. Out.
