.MaddowBlog: One GOP state legislator who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6 resigned after his arrest. He was, however, an exception to the larger partisan pattern.

Ultimately, the DLCC found 21 Republican lawmakers whom the group described as"insurrectionists," and several hundred who promoted"Stop the Steal" rhetoric or signed letters or briefs calling to overturn the results of the 2020 election. those responsible for"the violence, lawlessness and mayhem." The then-president added those who participated in Jan. 6"defiled the seat of American democracy." It stood to reason — at the time — that elected officials who played a role in the assault on our system of government would quickly become political pariahs.
