GOP lawmakers condemned the Jan. 6 attack. Over 3 years later, many endorsed Donald Trump anyway.

GOP Rep. Lloyd Smucker was blistering in his condemnation of the Jan. 6 Capitol assault.

Today, he is among the majority of Republicans in Congress who have endorsed the former president's 2024 White House run.

GOP Sen. Steve Daines of Montana said in a statement that "the focus must be to arrest and prosecute the domestic terrorists".

The number of his critics within the party continues to dwindle, given the Trump orbit's focus on ridding the GOP of people who appear to oppose him.

An attempt has been made within the GOP to try separating the Capitol attack from Trump's false allegations about widespread voter fraud.

"It's very clear that President Trump encouraged a interference in the peaceful transition of power," Sen. Mitt Romney says.
