The Trump riot showed them what they can do. All members of Congress are right to be scared of the Trump cult now.
“Republicans are no longer just afraid that their base will force them to defend the politically indefensible or send them packing in a primary challenge. They’re afraid that their base, or at least certain elements of it, will literally kill them.” OMG.https://t.co/HbyGdNcNzE

Need to know if Republican Members of Congress are being quietly threatened, bribed or blackmailed to side with Trump on impeachment.
