According to Fox News analyst Howard Kurtz<\/u>, a change has come over congressional Republicans in recent days. Instead of rubberstamping President Donald Trump\u2019s every demand and whim, a new dynamic has emerged. This time, and for the first time in his second term, \u201cTrump did something beyond the pale and the brave Republicans are standing up to him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s a revolt,\u201d writes Kurtz. \u201cPractically a revolution,\u201d as Republicans are finally pushed to a point that \u201cseems to be breaking, or at least loosening, Trump’s iron grip on power.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kurtz says that the key issue driving this change was \u201cTrump’s decision to use $1.8 billion largely for those convicted of crimes on Jan. 6,\u201d which the Fox contributor argues was \u201cthe culmination of a five-year effort by the president to recast the protestors, who he had summoned to Washington and directed to march to the Capitol, as patriots, not lawbreakers. That is inconveniently contradicted by the relentless violence we all saw on our television screens as the riot unfolded. It was one of the darkest days in American history.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many Republicans expressed disgust at what has been criticized as a \u201cslush fund\u201d immediately after it was announced, but according to Kurtz, things really \u201cexploded\u201d after Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche met with Senate Republicans. <\/p>\n

“My guess is there\u2019re probably 45 senators in the room, at least half of them were blasting the attorney general\u2026 They were screaming at the acting attorney general,” said Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), calling it a “full-on revolt.” <\/p>\n

And Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) put it like this: “So the nation\u2019s top law enforcement official is asking for a slush fund to pay people who assault cops? Utterly stupid, morally wrong \u2013 Take your pick.” <\/p>\n

Following the \u201cfiery session\u201d with Blanche, Republican leaders killed a vote that was scheduled the same day on one of their key priorities \u2014 funding immigration and border enforcement \u2014 rather than risk the possibility of having to vote on the slush fund, which would force them to give a public \u201cyay\u201d to the widely criticized idea or a \u201cnay\u201d to the president. At the same time, they also failed to approve $1 billion for Trump\u2019s ballroom obsession. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, for the first time, Republicans are broadly criticizing Trump\u2019s plans regarding Iran. “Doesn\u2019t make too much sense to me,” said Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC). And said Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) \u2014 arguably the staunchest Iran war hawk in Congress \u2014 the current situation “makes one wonder why the war started to begin with.” <\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe the previously unthinkable idea of Republicans openly challenging Trump is catching on,\u201d Kurtz concludes. \u201cThey’re mad as hell, and they’re not going to take it anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
