"Shame: painful emotion caused by consciousness of guilt, shortcoming, or impropriety.
---a condition of humiliating disgrace or disrepute."------Merriam-Webster
That, my friends, is what today's Republican party does not have: a sense of shame.
There was a time when someone who had just professed undying respect for and loyalty to a party leader would have nearly died of shame and embarrassment when video of him saying three months earlier that the same person was a vulgar, cruel and incompetent liar was played during an on-air interview. Nowadays, such immoral "180's" are just simply no big deal: "OK, so I said that then. Now I'm saying this. SO WHAT? Next question."
Just to give one example, Lindsey Graham denounced Trump in harsh terms back during the 2016 campaign. In fact, he said that if the GOP was unwise enough to choose Trump as their presidential candidate, he would "destroy" the party.
Yet, after Trump took office despite losing the popular vote, Lindsey spent most of the next four years literally worshipping "the Donald". He defended his cruelty, excused his vulgarity and praised his incompetent and corrupt administration.
Then, after, the violence of the January 6th insurrection, Lindsey was "over" Trump and wanted to move on.
Then, maybe two weeks later, he's back to schmoozing with Trump at Mar-A-Lago and insisting that the GOP "can't win" without his "guidance".
Then, a couple of days ago, he said he "accepts the election outcome" and urged Republicans to unite and move on.
Are you dizzy yet? Lindsey isn't.
He is shameless.
