Powerful enablers who up until this week had stuck by Donald Trump as he incited and practically begged his supporters to unleash violence are suddenly over it. The very people whod spent years treating Trump rallies as nothing more than walk-in dioramas of hatecartoonishly evil but still just a cartoonare suddenly issuing blistering statements. Tweeting curse words. Saying enough of this president. But lets be real: The panicked efforts were seeing this week are nothing more than a performance of strained morality and self-pity.
Kelly Ann Conway:
The former Trump adviser and prolific liar once had quite the self-serving spin on the violence she now claims to reject. The more chaos and anarchy and vandalism and violence reigns, Conway told Fox & Friends in August, the better it is for the very clear choice on whos best on public safety and law and order.

They want to equate an attack on Democracy, and attack on the symbol of America, the attack on the Constitution, and Attack on the election process with looting a shoe store.
We are going to have to go after the people who violated our seat of government with an iron fist so that the whatabouters will understand the difference. The only thing that they understand is force, we have to show them the "force" that our government can bring to bear when it comes to protecting the nation from attack. Maximum sentences for all the people who broke into our Capitol, otherwise, we encourage the rest of the hateful bastards that are out there planning the next attack. And make no mistake they are planning the next attack.
