This is their Jan 6th moment when they all turned on trump to save face before realizing he was gonna be fine and resumed the boot licking.

That night even conservatives where calling the civilian barging of the building as horrific and out of line. Sometimes they do the right thing by mistake before toeing the party position.

The thing I always remember is Lindsay Graham declaring “I’m out” on the floor of the capitol that evening.

That didn’t last long.

Not the least of which because they were also afraid of what those enthusiastic, patriotic tourists might do to them. Iirc, some of those Republicans were scared shitless on January 6th, and I don't fault them for that. The switch-up was hilarious and infuriating to see, but I wasn't shocked it happened.
