The #Republicans that showed up to the #TrumpTrial today in Manhattan were *lawmakers* who are all about disrupting legislative business & have no issue w/embarrassing their own party on the #House floor. It included many #HouseFreedomCaucus members who have frozen the chamber for days on end, most recently voting down their party’s own rules as an act of *protest*.

Idiots.

#MitchMcConnell’s retirement from #Senate leadership will also mark the step back of an orderly counterpart to the tumultuous approach of #Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, and the hardline #HouseFreedomCaucus ahead of the Nov #election for president, the full #House of Representatives & a third of the Senate.

The members of the so-called House Freedom Caucus are willing to take down the entire Republican Party, because without Trump and their deranged base, they can’t win re-election and are also subject to accountability for their criminality.

#McCarthy is unlikely to bring the eventual #Senate proposal up for a vote because it would require #Democrat votes to pass, acc/to multiple #Republican aides…. Members on the #FarRight, including many within the staunchly #conservative #HouseFreedomCaucus, have said that relying on #Democrats to move the bill would probably result in a Republican lawmaker filing a motion to #remove McCarthy from his speakership.
