A Republican congressman who voted to impeach Trump and called him a 'wouldbe tyrant' says he might support the former president again 'if he apologized' for January 6
"Republican Rep. Tom Rice of South Carolina — who has compared former President Donald Trump to an authoritarian leader multiple times and was one of just a handful to vote to impeach him after January 6 — says he might reconsider all of that if the former president simply apologized for his role in provoking the attack.
Speaking with ABC News' Jonathan Karl ahead of a high-stakes primary election on June 14, Rice was asked if he could ever support Trump again.
"No," said Rice before quickly stopping himself.
"There's one way: if he apologized," said Rice. "If he came out and said: I'm sorry that I made a huge mistake on January 6th, then I might consider it," he added."
