GOP Rep Rips Cowardly Republicans On Capitol Riot

“What disappoints me the most is that here we are a year and a half later (and) we’re now just getting other Republicans within the former administration to tell what they thought, what they saw happen. Where were they a year and a half ago when then of us voted our conscience and decided to cast the vote that we did? They should have helped us, in my view, back in January when we cast that vote. None of the ten of us regretted our vote that we cast. None of us would have changed our vote that we cast.” – GOP Rep. Fred Upton, speaking to NBC today.

Upton’s “ten of us” refers to the ten GOP House reps who voted for Trump’s second impeachment. In April 2022, Upton announced that he will not seek reelection.

Rep. Fred Upton, one of 10 Republicans who voted for former President Trump’s second impeachment following Jan. 6, says he wishes those in the former administration now speaking out would have come forward sooner. – @meetthepress https://t.co/UzQ9YHZ6EK
