A Democratic lawmaker is calling out her Republican colleagues for embracing Donald Trump when he returned to Capitol Hill last week, scene of the Jan. 6 insurrection carried out by the former president’s supporters.
“I think it’s nauseating to see such slavish devotion to delusion,” Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-Calif.) said on MSNBC on Sunday, adding:
“Here is the chief engineer behind the Jan. 6 insurrection walking past Capitol Police and House floor employees ― who protect us and help us every single day, and whose lives he put at risk ― to go and talk to sycophant Republicans in the House and in the Senate in the only language he knows: quid pro quo.”
Kamlager-Dove warned Republicans that Trump’s “quid pro quo” approach generally doesn’t work out for everyone else.
“Look how that helped Michael Cohen, Rudy Giuliani, Herman Cain,” she said.
She issued a stark warning about how the GOP’s embrace of Trump’s agenda in exchange for his endorsement will hurt Americans.
