“President Donald Trump caused this insurrection with his lies and conspiracy theories about the election process being rigged against him,” Jennings wrote for CNN hours after the siege on Jan. 6, 2021.

He offered a flaccid “I was none too pleased with Trump after Jan. 6, 2021” in the Times before declaring:
Today, millions of Republicans like me — who nearly upchucked a time or two on this crazy ride — are prepared to vote for him one more time as a bulwark against the cultural and governance excesses of the American left.
Simply put, I’m more worried about the country’s future than any problems I’ve had with Trump in the past.
