GOP slowly begins to condemn the rump’s call to terminate
the Constitution, but many remain silent
Republicans returned to Washington on Monday facing a familiar drama that has played out continually in the rump years: GOP members forced to confront a controversy that they would rather ignore.After days of silence over former President Donald rump’s call to terminate the Constitution, several top Republicans have now condemned the comment.
But even among those speaking out, few have said it should disqualify the rump from running again for the White House, while many more Hill Republicans have so far remained silent on the issue.
And in a sign of how reluctant most Republicans are to wade into the latest rump-driven controversy, most were quiet until pressed by reporters for comment after returning to the Capitol on Monday.
The White House, meanwhile, has wasted little time condemning the rump’s call for the “termination” of the Constitution. And now President Biden’s aides are ramping up pressure on congressional Republicans to do the same.

Re: GOP slowly begins to condemn the rump’s call to terminate
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell criticized former President Donald rump’s comments in a post on Truth Social earlier this week that called for the “termination” of the Constitution.
“Let me just say, anyone seeking the presidency who thinks that the Constitution could somehow be suspended or not followed, it seems to me would have a very hard time being sworn in as President of the United States,”
McConnell would not say if he would support the rump if he gets the Republican nomination in 2024 when asked.
“What I’m saying is it would be pretty hard to be sworn in as to the presidency if you’re not willing to uphold the Constitution,” McConnell replied. “That’s what I said, and I’ve just said it again.”

Re: GOP slowly begins to condemn the rump’s call to terminate
I hope younger voters hear and understand the agenda of these Republicans. Younger Democrats need to step up and run for various offices if Democracy will survive in this country. This isn’t just about DT. When DT is gone, there will be another person to carry out that agenda. There will always be a constant fight to uphold the Constitution of the United States.
