Nearly a month after Republican Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley challenged President Joe Biden's election victory there is still no punishment for their actions; both senators keeping key committee assignments. Former Sen. John Danforth tells CNN's Erin Burnett he no longer recognizes the Republican party.

    1. More miracles like this ?
      RECAP -the first week of the Biden/Harris administration —

      – A loss of 57,000 jobs in oil.

      – Ended energy independence for the United States.

      – Canada and Texas are suing Biden.

      – Antifa (just an idea right), continue to riot and burn down Portland and Seattle.

      – Sent our troops that were in DC to sleep on the floor of a parking garage, in freezing temps, with cars parked there and one bathroom. But the WH made them cookies

      – Created a new glass ceiling for girls to hurdle, ruining so many chances for scholarships with his “progressive” transgender programs allowing boys to compete against girls.

      – Created a new federal property mask mandate, which he broke countless times already.

      – Is now allowing illegal immigrants to be counted for representation in congress.

      – A complete halt on student loan forgiveness that he promised.

      – A complete halt on the $2000 stimulus program he promised.

      – He shot down a Trump admin order to lower the cost of insulin.

      – He shot down a Trump admin order to lower the cost of epinephrine.

      – Rescinds Trump order banning Chinese Communist involvement in US power grid

      – $1.6 billion in gross wages lost.

      And – 8 Chinese bombers, 4 fighters, and 1 sub-hunter just breached Taiwan’s Air Defense Identification Zone, crossing the Taiwan Strait

      Everything they’ve done in THREE DAYS has benefitted other countries and hurt Americans.

      But HEY, at least Biden hasn’t tweeted mean words.

      And, we have a woman Vice President.

    1. Honestly, he’s not the one I’m most worried about, Hawley and Cruz just got the spotlight shined on them. I’m more concerned with Greene and Boebert. I do think these two women actually believe in the whole QAnon conspiracies and are a danger to society.

    2. @Frank Paya and trump never ran his mouth off? He did every time he had a rally, every time he was in front of a camera, every time he was on twitter, trump praised those on the far right all the time even when they killed people. The dems condemened both sides and there is ample video of the far right so you make NO point. No one encouraged the riots MORON.

    3. @Rich Sociopathic Socialist Hawley and Cruz aren’t up for re-election until 2024. I can’t wait until then.

    1. Sorry it’s up to the voters in her district and not up to you or your communist buddies l, that’s what a democracy is

    2. I’m glad I voted for her. Along with 74% of the people in her district. We just said no to Joe Biden socialism. Yet the death of America and your freedom and free-speech rights are being taken away daily. We are now a Third World nation

    1. @Jord Boyd you’re exactly right.
      We really need to remember just like with the Democrats, much of the Republican establishment wanted to see Trump gone as well..
      I will never understand after being fooled once by the rhino Republicans into accepting sessions, why Trump turned around and again took in another rhino recommendation with barr, who had been an attorney general for a Time in the Bush administration, what did the bush platform have in common with the Trump platform?

    2. @Jord Boyd Yes GOP definition of democracy, do whatever possible to prevent people from voting. The only way they can win.

    3. Frank Paya I expect many RINOS to be purged in next years elections. Trump needs to be a bit smarter the next time and steer clear of the RINOS.

    4. Republicans are looking real treasonous out here they think we’re not paying attention they think we will forgive their Treacherous Ways

    1. We are all going to Watch the death of America socialism is here and your freedoms, free-speech, constitutional rights being stripped away daily by the communist Democrat party

    2. @RandomPlayIist Right on! I myself am a Democrat but I appreciate the two party system. We need it for balance. But both sides have to moderate more.

    3. @Facts First 🀣🀣🀣🀣 Admit It! that your Mad! That Biden is restoring order in this country! A he brought along a cool, Smart!, Woman Of color, to be your vice president. Those it bother you the the first female VP of the US is a woman of Color. Guess what we won that race too! so Boo Hoo! Get Over It! Trailer trash lost again!

    1. @Harbeer Sandhu

    2. @peaceandllov failed coup by Trump and his GOP followers. Apparently you are too stupid to understand what democracy means.

    3. @Kegan Vlogs Sometimes Isn’t it great when the old man gives you a slap when you give him lip … King of the trailer , just how you like ’em .

    1. Yes, it’s crazy to support the Constitution to the letter. you’ve been so brainwashed, you’ve been turned upside – down.

  1. As an honor and respect to Democracy and the American people. They should all be removed from office a stripped of everything.

    1. Thank you Q-anon Qaren, Kevin McQarthy, Rafael Eduardo “Fake Ted” Cruz πŸ‡¨πŸ‡Ί, Ron Johnson, Lindsey Graham, Moscow Mitch McConnell and Little Marco Rubio πŸ‡¨πŸ‡Ί the Cuban version of Lindsey Graham

    2. Yes sadly the GOP will be put into extinction by the communist Democrat party who has now stripped away your free-speech rights, taking away your freedoms and implementing communism. I’m just glad the ones that will suffer will be you Democrats also who just voted to destroy your nation like Venezuela and Cuba.

  2. Politicians should always remember the press watches their every move and whatever past statements they made has been recorded.

    1. Didn’t joe biden say racist things before? And Kamala called him out for it? And now they are cool with each other? Hmmm makes me wonder what is really going on

    2. @Mark Lawson but but but πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ if you look like a fool, sound like a fool, walk like a fool, then you are a fool

    3. @Mark Lawson i’ve heard trump say racist things too, and worst. so? whatabout my neighbor who said racist things to the homeless? they’ve been told racist things and worst but now my neighbor and that homeless is cool. So? What’s your point? Can’t defend the action of the people you support so now it’s pointing fingers, point your fingers to your enemy? πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ if people around you is racist or just plain evil, that doesn’t give you a pass to be one of them,and do the things that they are doing. remember that.

    4. @Mark Lawson hmm yah it’s almost as if there grown ups and resolve petty stuff in past something goin on indeed bro

  3. The picture of Hawley’s raising his fist on Jan. 6 will stalk him for the rest of his political life. He is young, but his political life is already in the sunset due to being an opportunist and selling his soul to Trumpism.

  4. “I don’t think his intention was overturning the election, because that was impossible”.

    Sorry, a 10,000lb bar bell is impossible to lift. But if you tug on it with all your might, your intention is to lift it.

  5. Greene: β€œI want to tell you that 9/11 is real.” Well, Ms. Green, the whole world knew it’s real, and nearly 3000 Americans died from it, u r the only one that said 9/11 wasn’t real. R u trying to rewrite the history? You failed miserably about it today on the House floor.

  6. Danforth: “I don’t think Hawley’s, intentions, was to overturn an election” Me: “So why he voted to overturn an election!?”
