      Blaming Trump is one thing, as I've explained & justified at length. Blaming Cruz & Hawley is more akin to blaming Bernie for the Congressional softball shooting that almost killed a bunch of Congressional Rs. https://twitter.com/molly_knight/status/1354852157665603586 …

      The basis for blaming Trump is not merely that he said a bad thing. It's about an extensive, extended course of conduct well outside the lines of just "bad political lies".https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/01/a-reply-to-the-federalist-on-impeachment-and-mob-rule/ …

          It took a long time for me to accept the reality but as they say, reality always wins in the long run. Never Trump never made any sense. The shelf life on that rationale has come if it isn't close at hand.

          remember that picture of Bernie walking by the shooter and giving him the nazi salute? I dont.

          This was a great column. But Hawley and Cruz should have shown leadership instead of lending their names to Trump's lying provocations. Their treachery is of a different order, but still deserves sanctioning by removal.

          Liberal here. I agree with your stand on the current impeachment. I look at his conduct here as worse than before, but also predictable from his previous behavior. I wonder if you might re-evaluate your response to those of us who were alarmed? Have you read the book Strongmen?

          Conservative here. I’ve refused to support Trump ever since he said he’d order US troops to commit war crimes. It’s proper to say that Trump is responsible for the riot, but the moral responsibility for Cruz and Hawley seems more attenuated. They’re a bit to blame, but...

          I read your article twice...at the very least Cruz & Hawley are accessories to Trump's offenses. They perpetuated and gave support to the lies through their own persistent actions. And they knew better as former SCOTUS clerks. They are complicit and deserve at least censure.

          Over 5,000 words, and I strongly suspect that easily half that length is padding meant to bore or intimidate readers into not finishing the thing and instead just assuming that McLaughlin successfully made his case. https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1354534423606255625 …

          Cruz still bears some responsibility. The main reason rioters stormed the Capitol was that people like him lied about the validity of the election. I don’t see how that compares to anything Sanders said about Scalise or other congressional Republicans
