From Business Insider: Trump says Washington Democrats would stop ‘persecuting’ him if he doesn’t run for president again

As usual, when Trump says something (like this quote on “Democrats’ persecuting him), it comes down to one thing: What are his people stupid enough to believe?

The Select Committee investigating the insurrection was constituted as it is especially because Republicans chose to boycott it, in the belief that doing so would destroy its legitimacy.  They didn’t expect, it seems, that two Republicans, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, would play such shocking visible roles in sorting out the truth regarding a coup attempt, and that most of the witnesses the committee called would be Republicans as well.
