Many are perplexed as to why the Trump crazies in Congress are running to cameras trying to defend the indefensible. And why their responses are the opposite of other Republicans. I heard a good point that made complete sense. The ones that are tripping over themselves to get to a camera are the ones that have criminal liability WITH Trump on Jan 6th!
One thing to remember is that Trump has severe leverage over them. If Trump gets in too deep he has a history of scorched earth actions. He can easily spill the beans on all his GOP helpers with 1/6 and who knows what other crimes. He has them by the gonads. (Except for Marge and Boebert, OK maybe Marge). He can destroy their careers.
Does it make sense now when you hear them saying the most idiotic things trying to defend Trump?
