Anti-Trump conservative group to grade GOP lawmakers on whether they uphold (or undermine) democracy

An anti-Trump conservative group is launching an effort to track and evaluate whether Republicans in Congress, in the group's view, have acted to either undermine or uphold democracy and democratic values and what role, if any, they played in attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

The Republican Accountability Project has created what it's calling a "GOP Democracy Report Card," which assigns grades to Republican members of Congress ranging from an "A," which the group describes as excellent, to an "F," which it describes as very poor. The details of the report card were first shared with CNN ahead of its release on Monday.

The group behind the effort, the Republican Accountability Project, is led by Republicans and conservatives who were outspoken in their opposition against former President Donald Trump's reelection, including former Trump administration officials Olivia Troye and Elizabeth Neumann. The group operates as part of the advocacy organization Defending Democracy Together founded by prominent Trump critic Bill Kristol and Sarah Longwell, a longtime conservative and Republican consultant.

Only 14 Republicans in Congress received an "A," the highest possible grade. In contrast, more than 100 Republicans received an "F," the lowest possible grade.

If you're represented by a Republican, how did he or she rate?

working with a hack news site "OANN" in secret in a partisan attempt to "audit" ballots is not democratic.

No surprise. She went along with all "The Big Lie" actions and continues to call Democrats socialists despite crowing about bringing Federal funds to the district for high-speed internet. She also proclaimed that Antifa should be declared a terrorist group without any proof they are either terrorists or a even an organized group for that matter.

He's become such a loon in the last year, he'd probably score lower by next year.

Are killing each other like in Syria. As long as they get to retain power, they don’t care a damn bit if it destroys the nation, results in millions dead and leaves the remains in rubble.

And they assume that they remain alive though the killings.

Do you support the system we live under, or not? Stop casting your traitors as nuanced capitalists. They are against America because they are against American elections! Wake up!
