Rep. Tom Rice (R-S.C.) in an interview broadcast on Sunday said he would consider supporting former President Trump again if Trump apologies for the Jan 6, 2021 attack at the Capitol.
“There’s no way you can support [Trump] again?” co-host Jonathan Karl asked Rice, one of the ten Republican lawmakers who voted to impeach the former president for his role in the insurrection, on ABC’s “This Week.”
“No, there’s one way…if he apologized,” Rice told Karl.
“So if he came out and said, ‘I’m sorry,’ I mean, all that goes out?” Karl asked Rice.
“If he came out and said, ‘I’m sorry that I made a huge mistake on Jan. 6.’ Then I might consider it,” Rice said.
Rice, who is also campaigning to be re-elected in his district in November, also said that voting to impeach Trump was the most “conservative” thing to do, saying his job is to defend the Constitution.
“And absolutely defending the Constitution is a bedrock of the Republican platform, right? Defend the Constitution and that’s what I did,” Rice told Karl. “That was the conservative vote.”

LOL Trump is smart.
Reason: Open Primaries. Texas and Georgia have the same problem with RINOs.
“If he came out and said, ‘I’m sorry that I made a huge mistake on Jan. 6.’ Then I might consider it,” Rice said.
Apologize for something fomented by the other side? I think not!
Trump planned a “Stop the Steal” rally. It was infiltrated by ANTIFA/Occupy types disguised as Trump supporters. They started the violence, commencing before Trump had finished speaking and exhorting his listeners to “peacefully and patriotically” make their voices heard. A few Trump people did get angry enough to join in and should be held accountable. But most of those currently held as political prisoners were simply present at the Capitol and did no harm.
I’ve got a better idea. How about we just replace you?
Fantastic. More constituents need to light up his phone lines, email platform and snail mailboxes. Good for you!
I wonder what this POS’s opinion of BLM burning down cities and killing people was.
Never heard of him - what makes him so self important? 🤪
Best summary i’ve read of the events in one paragraph!
We should send that out to every “journalist” in the US.
The title seems to have misplaced a “Moron Alert” warning...
Shame...
Shame...
Shame...
Such a puss.
Just another traitor DC Rino puke who needs to be fired!
Tom Rice can go F himself.
Do not think Trump stupid enough to say anything that enemies would want to call an admission.
Fa Kim.
He could share an office with Paul Ryan and or Bret Baier...If Lindsey Graham or Bob Barr doesn't beat him to it.
When DID YOU EVER SUPPORT PRESIDENT TRUMP, you f——— moron?
That’s funny.. he could apologize a million times for his votes against Trump, and I would not consider voting for him.
Here's what Trump said, "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard".
Exactly, what is there to apologize for?
I don’t think he understands what “again” means.
