In other words, Freedom Caucus Crazies co-founder Ron DeSantis provided us with a glimpse of hell and the end of democracy

 Jim Jordan:  Trump sycophant extraordinaire.

 

Mark Meadows:  Trump White House Chief of Staff (2020-2021)

Mick Mulvaney:  Trump Director of the Office of Budget and Management (2017-2020)
