Republicans face ‘mob-style’ push to fall behind Trump after guilty verdict

“The lesson they learned is if you enforce this totalitarian unanimity, you can keep chugging along. And it is a wildly dangerous lesson. Because they will do this no matter what he does, and no matter how bad it gets,” says Chris Hayes on Republicans banding together to support Trump after his guilty verdict.

These lawmakers should be ashamed to turn on the judicial system. This shows that their integrity is for sale just for the possibility of being a running mate, what would they do for a foreign country if they offered big money for a favor.

How do these people live with themselves? How do they teach their children that the rule of law should be followed. Most of these kids are most likely thinking - the more I lie, the more criminal I am, IF I BECOME POTUS, I can pardon myself and live a carefree life of con-man

These people need to grow up and understand that the law is the law. No one is above the law. No exceptions.

When I was 16, I got a tailgating ticket and was convinced I didn't deserve it. My mother had to go to court with me and was livid that I argued with the judge. I was found guilty and sentenced to community service.

I can't imagine if I'd told my mother, "I don't have to obey that judge. The President says so."

How can anyone who refuses to accept judicial rulings be President?

You can almost see the key turning on their backs.... like little brainless tin soldiers...

So the question then becomes, is there a way back for the GOP after Donald Trump? How can they be allowed falling right back into business as usual after the madness of the 8 years.

[javierth]

The last mob we had, got brought to justice. This one eventually will too.

[gzjgwjt]

The GOP Lawmaker's super power is utter shamelessness.

Consider the cowardice of these stooges. One is worse that then next.

[Ted.Fart.Nugentt]

Imagine telling your MAGA side family that you were a juror in the Trump case during Thanksgiving this year.
Now that would truly be a day to remember. If you survive.😂

[bruchadamo]

These cowards are only doing it to not alienate Trump's base - they're not stupid. However, they are betting on a loser and that's stupid.

[mariarivera]

These cowards ahould lose their positions for supporting a crook and traitor.
