Rep. David Joyce (R-OH) declined to denounce former President Trump for suggesting the termination of the Constitution’s election provisions over unfounded claims of mass electoral fraud in 2020, The Hill reports.
Said Joyce: “He says a lot of things. You have to take him in context… I can’t be really chasing every one of these crazy statements that come out about — from any of these candidates that come out.”
However, he added: “I will support whoever the Republican nominee is.”
Wall Street Journal: “Republicans distanced themselves from former President Donald Trump‘s call to ignore the Constitution and the 2020 election results, but shied away from directly criticizing the man who is still their party’s political figurehead.”
