Motivations and Justifications

In this chapter, they discuss the motivations of their colleagues in the House during a critical time. They talk about how some were concerned about earning the wrath of Donald Trump and wanted to avoid being attacked by him. They also mention that public opinion polls showing people believed the election was stolen were used as a justification for spreading additional lies. They highlight the backwardness of this approach and how it led to operating outside the bounds of the truth.
