Most Republicans are quiet on Trump’s statement that the Constitution should be terminated

One of the worst things Trump has said

Most Republicans are cowards.

The real story isn’t that Trump wants to suspend the Constitution. He showed that clearly enough when he tried to overturn the election.

The story is that prominent Republicans refuse to condemn the idea of setting aside the Constitution. That is truly extraordinary. https://t.co/xax0PiCF6Y

FFS. "A number of other Republicans condemned the message, but most stopped short of criticizing Trump himself."

Trump today: When I said the constitution should be terminated over election fraud, I didn’t actually say the constitution should be terminated.

Which lie is it?

Trump has said the 1/6 rioters were wonderful people. He has also said they were Antifa and Black Lives Matter. Those are both lies but which one does he believe? Both can’t be plausible. I don’t understand how anyone would think liberals would want to stop the Electoral College vote. Biden isn’t as liberal as I and many others would like but he is far better than Trump.

Before he said the protesters were peaceful and loving. Trump lies do so much he contradicts himself. https://t.co/jFJlPmewDx

Cheney asks Officer Gonell about Trump saying "it was a loving crowd. How does that make you feel?"

Gonell: "It’s upsetting.. It’s a pathetic excuse for his behavior… He created the monstrosity.. It is insulting, demoralizing. ..He egged them to continue fighting."

Liz Cheney asks about Donald Trump’s claim that rioters were “hugging and kissing” police.

The media must stop tweeting Trump’s rants

At least a few people oppose tweeting his crap.

Many people in the media are guilty of tweeting his statements, too.
— Harris Levy (@HarrisL585) July 14, 2021

Good for you for not repeating them. People who tweet Trump’s statements help him evade his Twitter ban.

It’s not just her. The media helps Trump evade his Twitter ban when they tweet his statements. https://t.co/id3xhjNHQn

Trump’s Charlottesville comments

The President's lawyers argue Trump didn't mean to defend Neo-Nazis when he said "there were good people on both sides" in Charlottesville, but meant to defend the peaceful protestors who had a permit the night before.

I was right there on August 11, 2017 as the stomach-turning torchlight parade participants passed by, just feet away. Nothing peaceful or quiet about it. Trump was wrong then and his #ImpeachmentTrial team is wrong now.

The $200 drug card was just another Trump lie

Before the election, Trump promised “incredible” $200 cards for seniors to buy drugs.

“Joe Biden won't be doing this,” Trump claimed.

But officials are now conceding: the cards aren’t going to happen. https://t.co/4GOpOz8NO8

I am right now doing a line-by-line analysis of the speech for inclusion in our Trump claims database and this is totally false. It was designed to rile up a mob, with likely 90+ falsehoods and misleading statements and constant references to "fight" –> https://t.co/HQCqiXdioY

Trump last night released a 14-minute Facebook video full of lies about the election, and, like his tweets on the subject, it’s too bonkers, repetitive and irrelevant to bother fact checking at this point.

great!

From a personal standpoint, I'm fine with this. Just four more days of maintaining the Trump false/misleading claims database. I had figured it would be a torrent of falsehoods at the end. Instead, it's been a whimper of silence.
