Congressional Tensions Simmer Since The Insurrection.
The January 6th insurrection has tensions in Congress at the boiling point. (Politico)
“The friction is particularly intense in the House, where two-thirds of the GOP conference voted to overturn the election just hours after lawmakers were attacked by a mob that demanded that very action. The position of those 139 members is now threatening to upend decades of relationships in the House, forcing long-time colleagues to work through their raw emotions and palpable anger in the weeks since the attack.

The attempt overthrow the US Government is rightly tainting Congressional relations. Some members of Congress like AOC feel that her colleagues aided, abetted and encouraged insurrectionists who intended to harm her and others including Vice President Pence. It will be a long time before the scars of the insurrection are healed and the recovery will be long and laborious. America will unite as one nation again, we have in the past and will do so again once the insurrectionists are relegated to the margins of society.
