Trump absolutely would have covered his ass in this way. Gosar, MTG, Boebert, etc.? I'm not so sure that some of these idiots might not have made explicit promises. My dream is that someone might have recorded them running their mouths, in which event things could get interesting for them pretty quickly. Would the saner (but seemingly spineless) arm of the GOP take this opportunity to rid themselves of some of the loons? Probably not, but it's not as clear cut if there's clear evidence of sedition going on.
Is it time to start picking out some Exxon stations in D.C.? If I were MTG, Boebert, Gosar, Mo Brooks or Madison Cawthorn, I'd probably be sweating a bit right about now.
Oh well ...
Too bad James Hodgkinson wasn't a better shot - the world would have been a better place here in 2021 if Scalise, Mo Brooks, Rand Paul and Ron DeSantis weren't still around.

There's your next-generation grift right there. Time to get ahead of that - e.g., get some nurse on ventilator'd MAGA action, maybe develop some Ivermectin-infused lube, etc. - that shit will pay the bills for sure.
