Dem Group’s Attempts to Shame GOP Lawmakers Over Jan. 6 Backfire
A Democratic organization that attempted to shame several Republican lawmakers into resigning after they were seen in crowds during the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol Building was ultimately unsuccessful.
Politico reported that members of the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC), which works to flip statehouses from red to blue, managed to catch glimpses of state-level Republican lawmakers in the crowds near the Capitol as hundreds stormed the building and fought with police to get in as lawmakers prepared to certify the Electoral College votes for Joe Biden.
That gave them the idea to launch a pressure campaign for each identified GOP lawmaker in a bid to force them to resign in shame, believing that the national mood was such that Republicans were a damaged brand and that their titular leader, then-President Donald Trump, was an albatross around their necks.
