‘Just go to Hell’: Ed Martin, Thom Tillis squabble amid Tillis’ anti-Jan. 6 litmus test - Politico
Overview
Sen. Thom Tillis and conservative activist Ed Martin publicly traded barbs after Tillis floated an anti–January 6 litmus test for Republican nominees and staff, with Martin telling Tillis to “just go to hell” and Tillis replying that being disliked by “idiots” is the price of principle. The spat highlights growing intra-GOP friction between establishment Republicans and pro-Trump activists over accountability for January 6 supporters. It reinforces a pattern of Tillis confronting Trump-aligned figures even as he threatens procedural resistance to some nominees.
