David Brooks: New book is my personal response to barbarous times

Former lawmaker says Trump asked him to overturn the 2020 election but so far special counsel hasn't contacted him

"Donald Trump wanted me to do four things: Advocate rescinding the election, advocate physically removing Joe Biden from the White House, advocate reinstating Donald Trump as president of the United States and advocate a new special election for president of the United States — all of which violate the U.S. Constitution and federal law," Brooks said. "And after I got done explaining that to him, he withdrew his endorsement and endorsed my opponent. So I'm mildly surprised none of these people have made inquiries about the details of this, but it is what it is."

Madison Cawthorn Challenge Raises the Question: Who Is an ‘Insurrectionist’? - The New York Times

… If Mr. Cawthorn is labeled an "insurrectionist," that could have broader ramifications. Other Republican House members, such as Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Mo Brooks of Alabama, Paul Gosar of Arizona, and Lauren Boebert of Colorado, face similar accusations, but their state's election laws present higher hurdles for challenges to their candidate qualifications. If one of their colleagues is disqualified for his role in encouraging the rioters, those hurdles might become easier to clear...
