The last straw for some

Jason Schmid, a longtime senior GOP aide on the House Armed Services Committee, has resigned from his post, according to a letter to incoming ranking member Mike Rogers (R-Ala.).

The letter was first obtained by Politico Tuesday.

In the letter, Schmid blasted GOP House members for supporting an objection to President-elect Joe Biden’s victory even after the deadly riot that occurred Jan. 6 by a mob of President Trump's supporters.

“Anyone who watched those horrible hours unfold should have been galvanized to rebuke these insurrectionists in the strongest terms,” Schmid wrote.

[...]

“The decision to vote to set aside legitimate electors harmed the ability of every service member, intelligence officer, and diplomat to defend the nation and advance American interests.”

  The Hill
You might want to resign from the Republican party.
A top aide to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) resigned on Tuesday as her former boss continues to face criticism over his objections to the official affirmation of President-elect Joe Biden's win in two states after the violence that overtook the U.S. Capitol last week.

In a statement to The Hill, the senator's office confirmed that communications director Lauren Blair Bianchi had agreed with the senator that "it would be best to part ways.";">

Again, consider parting ways with the Republican party.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
