GOP freshman lawmakers splinter over Trump

[JonLP24]

The House GOP’s high-profile freshman class is fracturing less than two weeks into the new Congress, and it’s all over one man: Donald Trump.

Trump’s failed gambit to overturn the election — and the deadly Capitol riots that followed — forced the newest House Republicans to take some of the toughest and most consequential votes of their careers during their very first days in office.

“This has been for many of us, especially those who decided to vote for impeachment, one of the worst weeks of our lives, one of hardest votes we’ve ever had to take,” Meijer said on MSNBC. “I’ve been talking to a number of colleagues, just felt physically nauseous.”

To the frustration of some GOP lawmakers, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy counseled some of the freshmen about which states to object to and even warned of potential primary challenges if they didn’t, POLITICO first reported.

1. I am of two minds

The more going against Trump the Better it is to flush Trump's affect. But I never want Rs to have control ever. They have proven for decades they do not Govern, they rule for themselves and their backers to the detriment of everything and everybody else.
