These politicians denied democracy on Jan. 6. Now, they want your vote.
OpinionThese politicians denied democracy on Jan. 6. Now, they want your vote.
Steve Brodner is a satirical illustrator and commentator.
While the violent mob swarmed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, aiming to subvert democracy and keep President Donald Trump in power, another group was already working on the same project inside. In an unsuccessful bid to prevent Congress from certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election, 147 Republicans formally supported objection to counting Joe Biden's electoral votes.
Some have already left office. But as many as 117 of these members of Congress are running for reelection in 2024. Here they are, drawn together: a collection of American politicians engaged in using democracy to attain the power to subvert it.
