If Jan 6 didn't make the Rs look in the mirror, nothing will. 
All of them were there? With weapons? I know I wasn't there. No mirror to look at for me.

One person was killed. She did not have a weapon.

Don't over-generalize.

It was not a good day, and there is a ton of blame to go around. A failure on every level, and embarrassing.

It's not about you or you being there, jesus christ.

If that group of people were on my team, I'd question why that was and want to distance myself as far as I could from them.  Yes, it was embarrassing for Rs, but it has not led to any movement away from that crowd or their cult leader.

When a crowd gathered to hear you speak starts chanting wacky shit, you don't go along with it.  You tell them to stop and explain why.  I think McCain did that multiple times.  Now, he wasn't a prototype R candidate, but he was decent enough to stop his supports from saying Obama was an Arab or that Hillary should be locked up.

I've seen nothing like that from the Rs.  And THAT is embarrassing.

There aren't so many in high position, but we did have Romney and Cheney who clearly turned hard against Trump, along with a rather remarkable number of served in his Administration at the time.

Right, and they're booed off the stage or outright kicked out of the party.
You have a special talent for supporting the point I'm making, which you disagree with.

I was merely correcting another of your many errors and misstatements of fact.

Yes, they did. And Bob Mueller did his best to oblige. Oops. Adam Schiff still has the proof though, for realz.
No they didn't. Robert Mueller was tasked with investigating Trump's connections with Russia. It had nothing to do with overturning any election. It was a legal process supported by Republicans and Democrats, and didn't result in any overturning of anything.

It was a BS effort bought and paid for by the Clinton campaign and it cost close to $40 Million dollars of our money. Not to mention the FBI's abuse of FISA warrants, etc. Everyone was out to get Trump, and they still are.

If they had actually found something and brought charges, he would have been impeached, found guilty by the Senate, and removed from office.

That is overturning an election. Oh, and it's how you divide a country.

Well done.

Meh.  I think the Rs and many others Were numb to such a small effort after watching what they saw during the summer of BLM.  Mega riots with tons of destruction, many of it of government property, injuries, and death of innocent bystanders    Rewarded by the Ds and media.  Completely unpunished with few arrests, no bail For the few who were arrested, and huge payouts for many after the fact when they sued.

The January 6 rioters were idiots.  For some reason they thought that they would receive equal protection.

Your timing is wrong. Bob Mueller wasn't appointed as special counsel until May 2017, six months after Hillary Clinton was out of politics. And if you're buying the idea that Republican AG Jeff Sessions was under the control of the Clintons, well, I've got some ocean front property in Arizona for you.

Need I remind you that Donald Trump was impeached. Twice. It's the Senate Republican caucus that lacked the spine to get rid of Trump on two separate occasions.

If it was a bunch of Dems broking their way into the Capitol building, you wouldn't be shrugging your shoulders over it.  
You can't even pretend to be objective.
