This is ridiculous. Why on earth would they fear the man who is about to be deposed. It seems to me that rather than fear, the Republicans who supported Trump acted with courage in the face of our powerful media which has scourged Trump and those who support him.

And there is little threat from a tweet by Trump who is largely disabled from saying anything counter to Twitter's anti-Trump policy. Yeah . . . i said it. Twitter's anti-Trump policy.

Politicians, Democrat and Republican alike, fear their constituents and the Press, not necessarily in that order.
