Kevin McCarthy last week suggested limiting aid to Ukraine if the GOP wins the House in November. In response, Liz Cheney called McCarthy the "leader of the pro-Putin wing" of the GOP, saying he'd "sacrifice everything" for his own gain. The House minority leader has developed a reputation among critics for being willing to do anything to maintain power. A small contingent of GOP lawmakers, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Rep. Thomas Massie of Tennessee, have largely opposed sending aid to Ukraine. Correction: October 23, 2022 — An earlier version of this story referred to Liz Cheney as a "former" member of Congress.
New texts shed light on former Sen. Kelly Loeffler's thinking during the Georgia runoffs and Jan 6. She told aides to make sure Trump retweeted a statement announcing her objection to the 2020 results. But after the violence, an aide warned her to back off from objecting due to "reputational risk." "I believe you can't afford to not be on it," wrote Loeffler aide Wes Coopersmith in a January 2 text. But the senator appeared concerned that word wouldn't get out before a rally with Trump that evening, according to the texts.
Mike Pence declared that Republicans should not abandon Ukraine as it continues to fight Russia. Pence's said American support must remain "until Russia relents and until peace is restored." And we must continue to provide the generosity, compassion, and prayers of the American people until Russia relents and until peace is restored." Pence even echoed an FDR phrase that President Joe Biden has also used, calling the US an "arsenal of democracy" amid Russia's war. Depending on how key midterm races shake out, the GOP could add even more Ukraine-skeptic lawmakers to their ranks.
Marjorie Taylor Greene said she and Trump have discussed her being his 2024 running mate. Greene told New York Times reporter Robert Draper that she "would be honored" to serve as Trump's running mate. "I think the last person that the RNC or the national party wants is me as his running mate," she told Draper in an excerpt of his forthcoming book, "Weapons of Mass Delusion: When the Republican Party Lost Its Mind." Pence has declared that Trump was "wrong" to suggest he had the ability to overturn the election. "Frankly, there is no idea more un-American than the notion that any one person could choose the American president," Pence said in a February 2022 speech before the Federalist Society.
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, for one, puts her marriage first among her qualifications for elected office. "Marjorie Taylor Greene is a conservative wife, mother of three, a successful business woman and job creator. (Marjorie Taylor Greene, too, has sometimes herself invested in companies that clash with her social sensibilities.) Months later, Cawthorn would reveal in his annual personal financial disclosure that he and Bayardelle, despite their splashy nuptials, had never pooled their finances or jointly owned reportable assets. From billionaire to billionaire, Michael Bloomberg could teach Kanye West a lesson about how to hide one's personal finances when running for president.
Share this -Link copiedCommittee votes to subpoena Trump The committee voted on Thursday unanimously to subpoena Trump. Trump would not be the first president to be subpoenaed, nor would he be the first former president subpoenaed by Congress. "Even before the networks called the race for President Biden on Nov. 7th, his chances of pulling out a victory were virtually nonexistent, and President Trump knew it," Kinzinger said. “At times, President Trump acknowledged the reality of his loss. “What did President Trump know?
That's based on a Secret Service email from 9:09 a.m. "The head of the President’s Secret Service protective detail, Robert Engel, was specifically aware of the large crowds outside the magnetometers," Schiff said. A Secret Service report at 7:58 a.m. said, "Some members of the crowd are wearing ballistic helmets, body armor carrying radio equipment and military grade backpacks." On Dec. 26, a Secret Service field office relayed a tip that had been received by the FBI, Schiff said. Trump would not be the first president to be subpoenaed, nor would he be the first former president subpoenaed by Congress.
“I don’t f---ing care that they have weapons,” Trump railed, according to Hutchinson’s testimony. She said Ornato told her Trump reached up towards the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel and then lunged toward Engel. Giuliani was “definitely intoxicated, but I did not know his level of intoxication when he talked” with Trump, Miller said. (Giuliani at the time denied that he was intoxicated through his attorney.) GOP lawmakers sought Trump pardons after Jan. 6The Jan. 6 committee revealed that multiple Republican lawmakers had asked Trump for pardons for their roles in the effort to overturn the 2020 election.
Just three years ago, then-Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard stood on the Democratic presidential debate stage and pitched herself as a leader committed to moving the party forward. That Gabbard is tough to square with the bitter also-ran who told the world on Twitter on Tuesday morning that she was officially leaving the Democratic Party. Gabbard’s minute-long good riddance video might have been a bigger media surprise had she not spent much of the last two years savaging the Democratic Party and drifting relentlessly rightward. Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta was more succinct in his snark, tweeting, “Wait, Tulsi Gabbard was a Democrat?”Gabbard’s reasons for leaving read like a typical Tucker Carlson monologue. On Wednesday, just a day after announcing her departure from the Democratic Party, Gabbard announced the launch of “The Tulsi Gabbard Show” on Apple Podcasts.
Republican Denver Riggleman says Reps. Louie Gohmert and Paul Gosar are in their own little worlds. They harbor "wild, dramatic fantasies about Democrats, the media and big tech," Riggleman says. "I came to believe Gosar and Gohmert may have had serious cognitive issues," Riggleman writes of his former colleagues in his new book, "The Breach: The untold story of the investigation into January 6th." Reps. Gohmert and Gosar did not respond to requests for comment about Riggleman's remarks. Republican Reps. Perry and Biggs have both been subpoenaed by the select committee investigating the deadly siege at the US Capitol.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat, told young climate activists in 2019, "You didn't vote for me." AP Photo/Gemunu AmarasingheBut most policy debates aren't genuinely existential in the way climate change is. "Younger Democrats tend to have a much more friendly relationship and response to the party's activist class than older Democrats do." Fossil-fuel interests have played a central role in stymieing progress on climate change for decades. Nearly a decade later, Trump ran for and won the presidency — with Gingrich's early and staunch support — while calling climate change a "hoax."
The bill amends the Electoral Count Act and clarifies the vote-counting role of the vice president. Senators introduced their own bipartisan bill two months ago, and some say this is just a messaging bill. "The ambiguity around the Electoral Count Act was the overwhelming rationale behind objections" on January 6, he said, indicating his support. The Senate introduced its own separate bill to reform the Electoral Count Act in July, and it now has ten co-sponsors from each party, a good indication of potential success. Here are the 9 House Republicans who voted for the bill:
