Jake Tapper Goes Off on Republican ‘Kraken Caucus’ for Election Fight: What Would Be Happening Right Now if GOP Controlled the House?

‘It appears every Republican senator will have no choice but to publicly take a side with President Trump, lying and making crazy allegations’

CNN’s Jake Tapper went off on the “Kraken caucus” in the Republican Party on Wednesday amid efforts by some to overturn the results of the election.

Tapper pointed out that even Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), according to some reports, has been privately urging Senate Republicans not to object to the election results when Congress takes them up. But, of course, now Josh Hawley (R-MO) has, in a gambit that’s not actually going to affect the outcome of the election.

“It appears every Republican senator will have no choice but to publicly take a side with President Trump, lying and making crazy allegations, or siding with reality, which could cost them with Republican voters in a potential primary,” Tapper remarked.

Nia-Malika Henderson said Hawley’s getting the ball rolling on “a primary for who can be the biggest Trump fanboy” with eyes on 2024.
