I would like to know why Charlie Sykes is being given a platform on MSNBC

6. All Republicans share responsibility . . .

for the ultimate conclusion that led the country to the Trumpster. They sowed the fields and they and the rest of us are reaping the whirlwind.

However, to defeat the Trumpster and his odious acolytes, we need all hands on deck. Even the guilty parties who now at long last can see the apocalypse they created. They may not admit personal responsibility but they see the the carnage and are willing to speak out, point the fingers, write the appropriate condemnations.

With our democratic Republic at stake, we need to embrace those who have seen the light. Unlike a creature like Hugh Hewlitt who will defend the indefensible, spout whataboutism and false equivalencies ad infinitum. Charlie Sykes is one of many names that have done a 180. Rick Wilson, Jennifer Rubin, David Frum, Max Boot et al (even frigging George Will) have had similar conversions to a Never-Trump philosophy.

Why are they given a platform? To encourage other Republicans who can still think independently to push back against white nationalism, nativism, raw racism that is Trumpism. We don't need to agree with their conservative positions to welcome them in that pushback. Because if we lose this fight, our political affiliations and sentiments won't be worth a damn.
