Ngemva nje kokhetho lwangonyaka odlule, amaRepublicans acasukile ngokungenzi kahle kwawo emlandweni futhi abonakala ekulungele ukulahla uTrump.
“UMongameli wangaphambili uTrump ubhekene amagagasi okusola ngemuva kokulahlekelwa kwabangenele ukhetho lweRiphabhulikhi phakathi nenkathi,” uMike Allen ka-Axios uhole incwadi yakhe yezindaba yansuku zonke enethonya. “Uhlu lwezincazelo zokungenzi kahle kwe-GOP lude, kodwa phezulu DONALD TRUMP,” I-Politico Playbook kumenyezelwe. Umeluleki kaTrump utshele abe-ABC News, “Lona umkhumbi ozikayo.”
Ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ngemuva kokuthi baqoke owayengumongameli icala labo lezepolitiki, umuntu angalindela ukuthi amaRepublicans athathe leli sonto. izindaba lokuthweswa kwakhe icala lobugebengu njengecala ababelilangazelela.
Kepha uSomlomo weNdlu uKevin McCarthy uzwakale ezinikele njengakuqala endodeni ecishe yamlahlekisela ngamanani amaningi. Ekhuluma endaweni yokuhlala ye-House GOP, i-California Republican kumenyezelwe Isifunda saseManhattan Athi. Uphenyo luka-Alvin Bragg “ukusebenzisa kabi amandla ngendlela edabukisayo okwenziwa yi-DA eqinile evumela izigebengu ezinodlame zihambe njengoba iphishekela impindiselo yezepolitiki kuMongameli uTrump.”
UMcCarthy wabe eseyalela amakomiti kakhongolose ukuthi ethule uphenyo ngehhovisi lommeli wesifunda saseManhattan. Osihlalo Bekomidi uJim Jordan, uJames Comer kanye noBryan Steil bathumela ngokushesha a incwadi kuBragg efuna ukuba avele phambi kwabo futhi aphendule wonke amaphepha nobufakazi obuhlobene nophenyo.
Ngakho-ke esikhundleni sokulahla uTrump – njengoba bekunjalo amaRepublican eWashington ngasese abathi bafuna ukukwenza isikhathi eside – bazama ukusebenzisa izintambo ukuvimbela uphenyo oluqhubekayo futhi bavikele owayengumongameli ekushushisweni.
Noma ubani ocabanga ukuthi amaRiphabhulikhi anaso ngempela isifiso “sokuqhubekela phambili” kuTrump kufanele alahle le nganekwane. Kuleli qophelo, amaRiphabhulikhi anjengoMcCarthy awabona abathumbi balowo owayengumongameli; bangamavolontiya akhe nabafuna ukuhambisana naye.
I-United States Congress ayinaso isizathu esizwakalayo sokugxambukela ophenyweni olwenziwa umshushisi waseNew York. Ukusebenzisa kabi amandla okusobala okwakha isibonelo esiyingozi esisongela ukuthuthukisa uhlelo lwezobulungiswa. Isiphakamiso siwukuthi yisifundazwe esifanele sikaKhongolose ukuthi sizibandakanye ngqo ekuqulweni kwecala elizimele kuze kube seqophelweni lokuthola ubufakazi nobufakazi futhi sikufake kumarekhodi omphakathi ngaphambi kokuthi icala liqulwe.
Cabanga ngesiphithiphithi esivela ku-GOP uma ikomidi lekhongolose elilawulwa yiDemokhrasi lethula uphenyo olufanayo ecaleni lomshushisi waseRiphabhulikhi elibhekene nomdemokhrasi ovelele. Babezolahlekelwa izingqondo zabo.
Umlayezo othunyelwa yi-McCarthy’s Republicans ucace kakhulu: Uma uphenya ubugebengu okungenzeka benziwa abantu abadumile baseRepublican, sizokuphenya. I-GOP ingase futhi imemezele ushwele ngokukhwabanisa nobunye ubugebengu obuthinta abamhlophe. Bafuna abomthetho basebenzise izinsiza zabo ukuze bacubungule imiphakathi enemibala, hhayi labo abacebile, abanamandla noma abamhlophe. Izinsizakusebenza zeRiphabhulikhi zizinikele ekusizeni nasekusizeni iqembu lonke lezigebengu.
Uma wenza ukuvukela umbuso, njengoba kwenza abavukeli bangoJanuwari 6, bazomemezela ukuthi uyisiboshwa sezepolitiki futhi bahlele ukuvakasha kukakhongolose esitokisini sakho sejele. Uma ukhipha abalandeli emalini engaphezu kwesigidi, njengoba kusolwa owayengumeluleki kaTrump uSteve Bannon, uzobe uxolelwe. Uma uthola i ongaqondakali $2-billion “utshalomali” oluvela kwamanye amazwe, njengoba kwenza umkhwenyana kaTrump uJared Kushner, noma yiluphi uphenyo luzokwenziwa buthule. iwile. Uma u sungula yonke indaba yakho yokuphila, njengoba kwenza ummeli waseNew York uGeorge Santos, usengaba yilungu leKhongolose. Uma u washalaza ekunukubezeni ngokocansi abasubathi basekolishi obaqeqeshe, njengoba kubikwa ukuthi u-Rep. Jordan wenza, ungase ube usihlalo weKomidi Lezobulungiswa LeNdlu. Futhi uma ubunjalo umsolwa yokuhlukumeza intombi yakho yasekolishi, njengoba kwakunjalo u-Rep. Comer, nokho ungahola i-House Oversight Committee.
Ngokusobala, uma ungowaseRiphabhulikhi ofuna isikhundla esiphezulu, ukuziphatha kobugebengu akukhona ukuhoxiswa; iseduze kwemfuneko. Ukuguqula iNdlu yabaMeli ibe itulo elikhazimulayo lokuphazamisa ubulungisa kuwukubonakaliswa kwakamuva kokwamukeleka kweqembu ubugebengu obuhleliwe.
