Did good Republicans save us from the bad ones on January 6th?

*A person of conscience and integrity would never have found himself in the position that Mike Pence was in on January 6. A man with courage would have stood up to Trump sooner; a man of moral commitment would never have worked for him in the first place.*

The Republicans that broke with the wrecker and refused to support him in overtly attacking the US election were prepared to go along with him into betrayal, but there was a limit to how far they would go. They are villains, not heroes, but they were not total villains.

*The attack on the US Capitol wasn’t the isolated doing of [the corrupter] and a few loyalists. Nearly the entire Republican party is now united behind it -– and the attack on democracy hasn’t ended.*
