« Sometimes there are consequences to being ineffective and weak, » the former president threatened on his blog on Thursday.
Former President Donald Trump slammed the 35 House Republican lawmakers that voted with Democrats to approve the January 6 commission, while also praising Democrats for sticking together. The bill to establish a commission to investigate the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was approved by a vote of 252-175 on Wednesday. Although GOP leaders have opposed the proposed commission,35 Republicans voted in favor of the bill—which Democrats negotiated with Representative John Katko, a New York Republican. « See,35 wayward Republicans—they just can’t help themselves, » Trump wrote on his new personal blog, From the Desk of Donald J. Trump. « We have much better policy and are much better for the Country, but the Democrats stick together, the Republicans don’t, » he added, praising the unity of the Democratic Party. « They don’t have the Romney’s, Little Ben Sasse’s, and Cheney’s of the world. Unfortunately, we do. Sometimes there are consequences to being ineffective and weak, » Trump threatened. « The voters understand! » GOP Senators Mitt Romney of Utah and Ben Sasse of Nebraska have repeatedly condemned Trump and voted « guilty » at the conclusion of his Senate impeachment trial in February.
