The House Nears a Cold War

May 14, 2021 · 6:44 am ET · Leave a Comment

Politico: “The rift between the two parties over the insurrection is worse today than it’s been at perhaps any point since early January, with lawmakers openly berating each other in the hallways and refusing to partner on legislation.”

“The fractious breakdown of what little bipartisan comity remained in the House is playing out, of course, in the long shadow of the former president. And the growing tide of GOP insurrection revisionism could turn the already-bitter divide between House Democrats and Republicans who voted to support Donald Trump’s election challenges into permanent cold war.”

House of Representatives
