Drees: Candidates who were at the capital on january sixth have run for office successfully, in some cases. Dug mastriano is the republican nominee to be governor of pennsylvania. Ryan kelly was arrested last week by the fbi for his participation in the january sixth riot. And he did not bow out of the race. He simply declared himself a political prisoner and vowed to fight on. So this thing is not disqualifying at all. In fact, what is disqualifying in the republican party is expressing too loudly any sort of remorse or animosity towards these actions.
