Another July Fourth vacation weekend has come and gone, with folks all throughout the nation celebrating their patriotism by taking pictures harmful fiery objects into the air, consuming beer at road events and sporting the loudest doable mixture of crimson, white and blue garments.

Among these publicly celebrating their love of America: practically all of the 147 Republicans in Congress who voted to overturn the 2020 presidential election outcomes, primarily based on a lie about widespread voter fraud ― the identical lie that, simply hours earlier, had fueled an tried coup on the U.S. Capitol that resulted in a number of folks useless and greater than 140 cops injured.

It’s solely been a 12 months and a half since Republicans took that vote on Jan. 6, 2021, proper after the worst assault on American democracy because the Civil War. With then-President Donald Trump egging them on, a mob of armed rioters, together with quite a few white supremacists, stormed the Capitol constructing with plans to kill House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Vice President Mike Pence and others in an effort to cease Joe Biden from being licensed as president.

It’s change into more and more clear that a few of these GOP lawmakers have been a part of a broader conspiracy to overturn the election to maintain Trump in workplace, regardless of his overwhelming loss. Some lied on nationwide tv for months concerning the election outcomes. At least 5 requested Trump for pardons after the Jan. 6 revolt, as did members of Trump’s personal staff.

Here’s a take a look at how these 147 Republicans ― minus the 2 who’ve died since January 2021 ― marked the July Fourth weekend.
