Former Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.) spelled out her contempt for ex-President Donald Trump in no uncertain terms in an essay for The New York Times on Wednesday.
Comstock urged her Republican colleagues to ditch the former president who she mockingly described as the patron saint of sore losers if they wanted to win elections. Trump lost the White House. The GOP also lost control of the House and Senate during his time in office.
Comstock served in the House from 2015 to 2019. Last month, she quipped that if Trump disappeared tomorrow I dont think youd have many Republicans in the search party.
A key step forward for her party should be a thorough investigation into the U.S. Capitol riot, said Comstock. Republicans should be at the forefront of seeking answers on the insurrection and diminishing the power of QAnon and the other conspiracy theories that Mr. Trump has fueled. Instead, Republicans have opposed a bipartisan commission to probe the violence.

(82,849 posts)I'm unfamiliar with anything Rep. Comstock may have said about the former guy's administration while she was in Congress in 2017 and 2018. If anyone has something on this, I'd appreciate it (a bit too busy to do my own research right this moment).
