Republicans will pay the price for their performative Electoral College gambit

Yesterday was an embarrassing day to be an American, but an even more embarrassing day to be a Republican.

Too stubborn to admit he lost the presidential election, our Republican president whipped his supporters into a frenzy and sent them to the U.S. Capitol, where scores of rioters attacked law enforcement and forced their way into the building. One woman was shot and killed inside by law enforcement. Three others died during the chaos, police revealed on Thursday.
