Nearly 900 people have been convicted of crimes related to breaching the Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection. Now, at least four of them are trying to make their way inside the building again, but this time as elected officials.
House Republicans say they’re fine with it.
“Obviously, I want to see the best candidates possible run,” Arizona GOP Rep.
