All Republicans MUST attend Trump's criminal trial and yell at media. These are the rules.

(USA Today) : All congressional Republicans

SUBJECT: Rules for mandatory visits to Donald Trump’s UNJUST criminal trial

Just a quick reminder that every Republican lawmaker in the House and Senate is required to make at least one day trip to the Manhattan criminal courthouse while our hero and presumptive presidential nominee, Donald J. Trump, is being persecuted for doing nothing wrong whatsoever.

Because President Trump is under a (VERY UNFAIR) gag order and we have no understanding whatsoever of how the criminal justice system works, it is incumbent on us to be the former president’s loud and aggrieved voice. That requires several GOP representatives and senators to accompany President Trump into the courtroom each day for a few minutes before standing outside the courthouse and yelling into TV cameras about how mean everyone is being.

It really look like a futile, empty gesture. Unfortunately, it might inspire true believers to act out their own rage in public, and the consequences of that could be severe.

were like, back when there was a conspiracy at play over a land issue. Aggressive tactics were used to push people off from thinking logically. That is what you're seeing with the Trump antics. They are bullies, and shame on this country for allowing this kind of antics to rule us since the 50's,
