I will not sit back and watch in silence while others lead our party down a path that abandons the rule of law and joins the former president`s crusade to undermine our democracy. Somebody who has provoked an attack on the United States Capitol to prevent the counting of electoral votes. I don`t believe that he should be playing a role in the future of the party or the country. There`s no question that the president formed the mob, the president incited the mob, the president addressed the mob, he lit the flame.
