In the wake of Jan. 6, some Democrats have refused to work with Republicans on any legislation, especially if they voted against accepting the election results. In a demonstration of the level of disdain some Democrats have for Republicans on Capitol Hill, the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) has refused membership to Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), who was one of the Florida Representatives who voted against the certification of electoral votes for Joe Biden.

“I’ve got to tell you, it’s kind of comical,” Donalds told The Epoch Times. “We’re all adults, we’re all members of Congress. In some respects, you could argue we get paid to speak. We stoop to cameras and reporters all the time. But we can’t talk to another member? I find that to be interesting.”
