GOP Rep. Tom Rice has said he regrets voting to sustain objections to the 2020 presidential election results in two states on Jan. 6 — and said former President Donald Trump was “responsible” for the riot that ravaged the Capitol that day.
Rice (R-SC) told Politico Wednesday that while he still believes there were “real issues with the election,” he wishes he had voted differently.
According to the outlet, Rice is believed to be the first GOP member of Congress to publicly disavow his Jan. 6 vote.
“In retrospect, I should have voted to certify,” Rice said. “Because President Trump was responsible for the attack on the Capitol.”

Rice also called the 45th president a “coward” and claimed Trump watched the violence “with pride” and “did nothing to stop it.”
Rice was one of 147 House and Senate Republicans who voted in support of objections to the results in Arizona and Pennsylvania on Jan. 6. However, he was also one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump over the riot just seven days later.

Well, bye.
“somebody” got a dose of fear. Goodbye.
A new one that needs to be sent back to civilian life.
No one still cares about 1/6 except MSNBC
Pelosi is ramping up this circus trial to ban Trump from running.
That’s what all this press is along with the 1/6 “memorial”
Our Republic is under attack.
what possible advantage could this Ahole obtain by coming out with this defamatory lie, and especially now a year late?
at least he’s outed himself ... let’s replace him ASAP!
“… Rice (R-SC) told Politico…”
*********************************
Politico? So he’s sleeping with the enemy now.
Nice picture.. What an arrogant little prat.
He’s being blackmailed.
Two Faced bugger, eh? Rice is a typical RINO, talking out both sides of his mouth. Yes, there were issues with the election. But, Trump caused the march on the Capitol?
Can’t have it both ways, idiot. Take a damn stand! Accept the consequences.
Oh, so that’s Tom Rice.
For some reason, when I heard South Carolina + a ‘wobbly’ republican now expressing regrets for supporting Trump during the J6 debacle, I first thought about Tim Scott.
Physically, Tim and Tom are as different as night and day.
Welcome to the dark side, Mr Rice. Hope you enjoy it while it lasts.
What is it with South Carolina? Graham, Nancy Mace and now this guy.
Send this RINO packing.
He looks like a real arrogant twit.
Typically there’s some personal profit that can be reaped by going anti-Trump. What is it for him,and why now? Does he plan to retire? Is his district being redrawn so that a Democrat is likely to win?
“On January 13, 2021, Rice was one of ten Republicans who voted to impeach Trump a second time.”
Tom and Susan Rice sitting in a tree, ..
plotting to kill America, 1, 2, 3.
Looks like Tom didn't take a logic course at U. of S.C., because that sentence makes no sense whatsoever.
