Arizona’s Republican A.G., who voted for Trump, investigated allegations of fraud in the 2020 election and has a word for those claims: “Horses***. That’s what it is. Most of it’s horses***, and I’ve been trying to scrape it off my shoes for the last year” cbsn.ws/3WrVkEG

Paul Ryan on 2024: “We won’t nominate Trump because we want to win. The suburban voter doesn’t like Trump. We haven’t lost this much this fast than we have with Trump. We lost the House, the Senate & the WH in a span of two years. I don’t want to repeat that.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene arrived in Washington as a far-right pariah.
Less than two years later, she's in a position of undeniable influence.
