Freedom is not arresting people without warrants. We have a system here, it's called a Constitution. And we have a party, the Republicans. Who don't seem to want to abide by the Constitution. January 6 is a prime example of that. And now they're all free, and they're in charge. You know what?

He continued: I mean, I've heard so many people in the Republican conference rail on the Affordable Care Act, rail on Obamacare, rail on the premium tax credits. And if you want to criticize something, that's okay as long as you have a better alternative. They have never offered a better alternative.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a longtime Trump ally who recently split with the president, made headlines last week by announcing her plans to resign in January. Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), a Trump critic, told Axios he nearly resigned over the Trump administration's 28-point peace plan for the Russia-Ukraine war.
