    I mean, maybe you shouldn’t have let the rhetoric of your party devolve to this point? Maybe you all shouldn’t have normalized abuse and violence against elected officials?

    Republicans really have no one to blame for this than themselves.

      They courted the crazy vote, only now there are true believers actually elected, and turns out that just screaming into the void and blaming everyone else doesn’t actually make you a good politician

        “Ninety-six percent of the votes came from Democrats,” Scott said. “So, Brianna, I mean, just factually speaking, there were only eight Republicans and there were 208 Democrats [who voted to oust McCarthy].” To this, Keilar responded, “But, sir, who’s in the majority?” Incredibly, Scott’s answer was, “Well, the Democrats were the majority of that vote.”
