31. Two months of lies and frivolous lawsuits after a free and fair election

....And we have that shameful video, taped in the Rose Garden at the White House, with a clear message to the insurrectionists and murderers from Donald J. Trump --- “We love you. You’re very special.”

Democrats will soon control the House, the Senate, and the Presidency. This is how America has held Donald Trump and the GOP accountable. The Republican party itself, though, has yet to step up in the most meaningful and critical way.

While it's too late for the GOP to save the soul of their party, for the good of our democracy and for the safety of all Americans, it’s not too late for individual Republican leaders to find their moral compass, summon their courage, and do the right thing – remove him now.
