The House GOP’s high-profile freshman class is fracturing less than two weeks into the new Congress, and it’s all over one man: Donald Trump

.

Now, the 45-member group finds themselves increasingly cleaved into two camps of freshmen. There are the members who flipped suburban swing-seats and rejected Trump’s false claims of voter fraud — a group that includes single moms and Cuban and Korean immigrants. And then there are those such as Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, who won deep red districts where loyalty to the president is paramount and conspiracy theories are commonplace.

Mace has excoriated some Republicans for their potential roles in inciting the violent mob on Jan. 6, calling for them to face investigations and other possible repercussions such as censure — which would represent a stinging rebuke of a colleague.

fire your editors who believe giving a platform to Ben Shapiro makes Politico 'balanced'

❤️ Trump

Let’s call them what they are, GOP rookies or clowns in their case, are going to have very short-lived political careers. I for one, look forward to seeing that.

Can't get the stone out of the shoe for a stretch

We know the Trump people in congress they need to watched

The GOP is now DEAD

If you don’t rid of the cancer early, it will kill you.

Congratulations to those freshmen Reps breaking from the party line in support of country. May their spine hold in the years of their service to America.

When will the old school GOP finally expel the Nationalist Populists?

I firmly believe the Republicans have run amok! They did even have a platform. They need to break up and start a real party.

This woman won’t stop spewing dangerous lies!!

I think people are misunderstanding the title. Right now, Republicans have fallen and are no longer a majority party. It's Dem's and Independents. So, they have damage control to do to get their party back up there. '....make Republicans a majority party in 2022.'

Well let’s hope so. Who would want to live under control of the dems? Biden isn’t even in office and he’s already going to raise taxesh

I do nazi a problem. Owhoooooo!

How does this make the Republicans a majority part? Makes zero sense.

Two more years of this dumb fuckery. They will get more coverage than Biden.

where the fuck is ben shapiro?

I bet if you did an IQ graph there would be a clear correlation between and the 2 factions.

Moderate Republicans? Sorry, they don't exist. If you think anyone that has said anything anti-trump the last few weeks qualifies, you drank the kool-aid.

Politico - don't you want to know what Brietbart's interpretation is?

I do not know her but I would almost swear that she was in the pictures with the rioters inside the Capital halls. January6th CapitolRiots

If they get the majority again america will become an authoritarian ran nation.

Oh my god if you look at all of trumps merchandise and Ivonka’s merchandise it’s made in China in sweatshops Ivanka has many partners/pattens with China so don’t give me this China shit! She also has voting machine pattens!

Looks like this freshman from GA did a little creative campaign financing with her PPP loan! 🧐

Are we calling the TEN house reps that voted to impeach the 'moderates'?

Green and Boebert will be bounced soon. Pelosi won’t put up with their shit. If there’s evidence they helped those terrorists, Pelosi will see them out the door.

Majority party in 2022, heaven forfend!

The so called « moderate wing » is the neo con wing. They are going to cause the end of the GOP. They need to be purged now from the party.

The party needs a time out. Let the Boebarts and Greenes run wild for a while. Get the stupid out their system, then come back as a revitalised opposition.

Until the GOP declares that White Supremacists and fascist lovers aren’t welcome they will not be a majority party. They have to go back to their roots.

That mask is delusional and just a damn stupid thing to wear.

senatemajldr You should not think the Republicans will be in power in 2022 we will never forget how you supported the Terrorist attack the lack of dealing with the financial fallout and hiding truthful information on Covid 350K murdered by you

Gotta love the message on the mask. Her other masks say “Jets are No. 1”, “Expel Muslims”, and “Jesus was white”.

Trump won’t be around forever. He will get back to his golfing and be happy again. Doubt these one offs get re-elected.

DT & his minions are going to plow a wedge into the GOP dividing Republs into 2 groups 1.Real Repubs with conservative values based in real political ideology&values 2. A new faction of emotionally driven volatile Trumplicans without defined ideology who believes anything DT says

UROCKlive1 Republicans in disarray

csilberman70 *One* freshman Congressman voted to impeach. In what universe is that “fracturing”?

Remove this thing from congress ! ! !

So GOPLeader threatened the newbie reps with primary challenges in 2022 unless they objected to the election results. Sounds like he’s one of the organizers of the coup to me. Boot him out.

The QNUTCaucus

'high profile' = defiant

Biden and Harris not even in Office yet and Greene is going to present Articles of Impeachment on both on January 21st. This is what we’ve done to our Republic.

It should be mandatory that an IQ test and exam on the constitution be taken and passed before these people can run.

Crap headline. Negates her words and actions comparing her to a timid freshman. Please do better.

A guy that lost by 7 million votes, flipped 5 states Blue and lost the senate.... bold move, let’s see how it plays out.

They’re only ‘high profile’ because media outlets like you give them press.

I paid zero attention to the MTG campaign as she does not represent my state, so I'm very curious what her campaign was like. Was it obvious she was over-the-top crazy? Did she advertise she is a Q believer? Do people now regret that they voted for her?

How is wearing that mask on the House floor not sedition and incitement to riot in itself? They have the information and know Trump lost. There's no other reason to wear that mask than to incite.
