The swamp that Trump wanted to drain was behind both groups in a Psyop against Americans to start such chaos so that they can take back control.
McCain, Romney and Rubio have painted a target on the back of any conservative who dared stand up for traditional values, by giving a licence to leftists to commit violence whenever they decide they are “offended” by conservative values. America is on a precipice. When a government states that one group is morally justified in using violence in response to alleged offensive speech by another group, anarchy will ensue. There will never be another conservative speaker permitted on a university campus, and any politician who speaks against freaks in the military or the charade of homosexual “marriage” risks having his or her offices “occupied” and trashed.
It makes sense they could be blackmailed. Another plausible explanation is they were not solid conservatives ever.
