The White House condemned Donald Trump's weekend remarks that called for suspension of constitutional rules, and urged more Republicans to come forward to rebuke the former president by kanishka183 and nanditab1
Trump tried to walk back his remarks with another Truth Social post on Monday: "What I said was that when there is "MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION," as has been irrefutably proven in the 2020 Presidential Election, steps must be immediately taken to RIGHT THE WRONG.
Thune, the chamber's No. 2 Republican, said: "I couldn't disagree more. I swear an oath to defend and support it , and I take it very seriously." Both Cornyn and Thune, however, stopped short of saying Trump's remarks should disqualify him as a presidential candidate when they were asked that by reporters.The Department of Justice is investigating his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and his removal of confidential government documents from the White House after leaving office.
