Who would have imagined such a thing could happen in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>He continued, \u201cThere is a sustained effort before the election, during the election, and after the election to this day to discredit the whole idea that we can still rely on elections to decide who should govern. If you pull that pillar of our democracy out, it comes crumbling down, and what is left other than violence? If you can\u2019t trust the ballot box t0 resolve differences, what is left but violence? It\u2019s what led to January 6 and what may lead to further violence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schiff added, \u201cJoy, I think you\u2019re absolutely right about the subtext here. If Republicans lose elections, it\u2019s because of people who are Black and Brown and don\u2019t look like White America, and therefore it is inherently invalid and illegitimate. Because I think the subtext is they feel that minorities should not be participating if they\u2019re going to be decisive in an election. You know, I think when you look at those who attack the Capitol that day with their Confederate flags and Auschwitz t-shirts, there is no separating this insurrection from the white nationalist motivation behind it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Pam Key on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pamkeyNEN\">@pamkeyNEN<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Wednesday on MSNBC\u2019s \u201cThe ReidOut\u201d that the Republican Party had become a \u201ccult\u201d of former President Donald Trump.
