'The base has lost its mind': Republicans fear 'another Jan. 6' after FBI raids Mar-a-Lago [View all]
House Republicans have been plotting investigations of Joe Biden and his family if they retake the majority this fall, but those plans have been complicated by the search warrant executed at Donald Trump's private residence.
The FBI searched Mar-a-Lago as part of an investigation into alleged mishandling of classified documents, and while GOP lawmakers have raced to Trump's defense and attacked the Department of Justice as unfairly partisan -- some Republicans expressed concern about the fallout among the conservative base, reported Politico.
“The base has lost its mind," said one senior House Republican. "If Trump decides to call them to arms, then I think he could get another Jan. 6."
Republicans have personalized the law enforcement move against Trump by suggesting the same actions could be taken against anyone -- which isn't inaccurate -- and some have seen that as an incitement to violence.

My response: Without Cheeto face watching from the Oval Office, a similar Jan 6th episode from Trump's base would be dealt with swiftly, harshly and put down efficiently. Very few would avoid severe prosecution.
