Dana Milbank (WaPo): Republicans won't have anything left to salvage
Dana Milbank: Republicans won’t have anything left to salvage
What President Trump and his cadre have done is very bad.
What Republican leaders are doing is unforgivable.
<snip>
It was time for leadership. McConnell ducked.
Instead, he hailed Trump’s campaign rally in West Virginia the night before.
<snip>
McConnell's counterpart in the House, Speaker Paul D. Ryan, was equally cowardly. "We are aware of Mr. [Michael] Cohen's guilty plea to these serious charges" was his office's official statement. "We will need more information than is currently available at this point."
What more do you need, Mr. Speaker? What more will it take, Republicans? It seems nothing can bring them to state what is manifestly true: The president is unfit to serve, surrounded by hooligans and doing incalculable harm.
A scroll through Republican lawmakers' tweets since the Cohen-Manafort combination punch late Tuesday found shameful silence. - The Salt Lake Tribune
