If a violent riot intended to keep a president in power weren’t enough, there have been plenty of other instances since Jan. 6 offering evidence of Republicans’ historic anti-democratic assault on the country.
On Sunday, Rep. Madison Cawthorn, R-N.C., added to the list of examples when he tweeted a video calling on “American Christians” to “stand against tyranny” and join a battle for “God’s inherent truths that predate any version of government.” The video featured remarks he made last month at the North Carolina Faith & Freedom Coalition’s Salt & Light Conference.
Cawthorn is a Trump loyalist who has repeatedly targeted Democrats with violent language. He spoke at the Jan. 6 pro-Trump rally shortly before some attendees attacked the U.S. Capitol. At that event, he falsely claimed that Democrats were engaged in “fraud” to win the 2020 election. In August, he said there would be “bloodshed” over any future elections that Republicans claim were rigged.
Cawthorn’s dangerous rhetoric signals the urgency of a party that is misaligned with the will of most Americans — and willing to court autocrats such as Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Last month, the Hungarian state news agency reported that the American Conservative Union’s annual Conservative Political Action Conference would be held in Budapest next year.
The Republican Party, having lost the popular vote over the last four presidential elections, has embraced outright authoritarianism to achieve the conservative society of its dreams.
And we should take seriously the risk that it and its followers can pose.
A survey conducted last year by YouGov found that a majority of Republicans believe “the traditional American way of life is disappearing so fast that we may have to use force to save it.”

Talk about yellow “journalism.”
no dissent.
resistance is futile.
THE PARTY has spoken.
Perhaps Ja’han could teach us a constitutional civics course?
“Cawthorn’s dangerous rhetoric signals the urgency of a party that is misaligned with the will of most Americans.”
Gosh.
Ja’han Jones of MSNBC speaks for “most Americans.”
Oh the horror, he must be exterminated, as we never had a "Democracy", for they are inherently tyrannical where the minority never has a voice. A constitutional republic on the other hand allows all voices to be heard.

Ja’han has no problems an asterisk in his name and a nervous breakdown wouldn’t solve.
I don’t recall the GOP being the ones to force all businesses with over 100 employees to either vaccinate, test or fire all the employees.
Just in case you had any doubts that Madison Cawthorn is a great congressman.
I can’t decide which is worse, CNN or MSNBC. Lately it seems like MSNBC is the worst.
He looks like a pseudo intellectual marxist poofter.
"Yes, I think I would say that the election was not fraudulent. You know, the Constitution allowed for us to be able to push back as much as we could and I did that to the amount of the constitutional limits that I had at my disposal. So now I would say that Joseph R. Biden is our president."
"So when I contested to the election, that was within the constitutional guidelines that the framers had set up. But after I've done that and the electors and the delegates from each state elected Joe Biden as our president, I respect the office. He is my president, and I want to work with him to make sure that we can bring some meaningful change to the American people."
Since Biden's inauguration, Cawthorn has signed onto a letter along with 16 other GOP House freshmen, saying they look forward to working with Biden. Notably, Cawthorn is the youngest member of Congress in modern history, according to US House records, at just 25 years old.

All I can say about the duplicitous spineless empty suit is "let's go Brandon".
A riot caused by BLM and Antifa infiltrators and FBI instigators.
But nice try, MSNBC.
Low IQ negro.
F’ing clown
“And we should take seriously the risk that it and its followers can pose.”
Yes. You should.
And after realizing the reality of this risk you should cease putting yourself in danger by abandoning your aspirations to rule over us as serfs.
Legitimate government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed. I, for one, do NOT consent.
Another Judas /Quisling in the GOP why am I not surprised!
Every word of this propaganda piece is a lie. I blame NBC. Now that they have lost the NHL contract I will no longer watch NBC.
