On Jan. 6, 147 House and Senate Republicans voted to overturn the presidential election.

That was hours after then-President Donald Trump incited a mob of supporters to storm the Capitol and search for lawmakers to kill to stop them from certifying President Joe Bidens win. They did this because they believed Trumps lies about widespread election fraud that Republicans in Congress were parroting, too.

Its a lot to unpack. It was easily one of the darkest days in modern U.S. history.

But now, two weeks later, with Biden sworn in and Trump gone, some of those same Republicans are celebrating Bidens inauguration and American democracy, brushing aside the fact that they were very recently a serious threat to either one prevailing.

Biden takes the oath, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) tweeted Wednesday, weeks after leading the effort to overturn the election . May God bless the United States of America.

Congratulations to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) tweeted Wednesday, weeks after voting to overturn the election and after lying on television that Trump won the election. Now we must get to work to solve the challenges facing our country. We are all Americans, and together we will succeed, as we have for more than 230 years.
