GOP senator says Trump "wanted chaos on television" and was "excited" watching rioters enter the Capitol
From CNN's Sarah Fortinsky
Republican Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska, citing conversations with senior White House officials, said on Hugh Hewitt's radio show that President Trump "wanted chaos on television" on Wednesday and was "confused about why other people on his team weren’t as excited as he was as you had rioters pushing against Capitol Police trying to get into the building."
In an interview Friday morning with Hugh Hewitt, Sasse also said Trump was talking about "a path by which he was going to stay in office after January 20."
On impeachment, Sasse signaled he was seriously considering whether he would vote to remove the President from office, but that "there are a lot of questions that we need to get to the bottom of," specifically citing delays with deploying the National Guard.
"But I think that the question of was the President derelict in his duty, that’s not an open question. He was," Sasse added.

They're upset because their space and safety were breached. And now they realize that it was all about his power grab--all about him. Not about the country, party, nothing else.
I hope these Republican lawmakers recall how scared and vulnerable they felt when issues of school safety and gun control come before them.

A report has come out that during the beginning of the siege, he and Rudy were calling Senators to continue the fight.

I was thinking a lot about this. All of them are used to pretty lush lifestyles and even if their core values may be to help the general public, there is no doubt in my mind that they are removed from reality. They have security, escorts, wealth, etc. They live in nice little bubbles while making decisions for us.
What happened would shake anyone to the core, but they are probably reeling from it. I think so much of that is why so many have turned on Trump. Pence was ride or die until the other day. He was reportedly upset that Trump never checked in on him.
I think they all figured he was a madman but that they would be able to contain him and his craziness and Wednesday it was unleashed. That's why they are jumping the boat and speaking out.

Have you seen the video of Jr and all rest of them watching from a tent on big screen TVs. They were literally dancing and cheering like it was a party! They are all POS. I’ve know it since the 90s and I’m glad others are seeing it too.
