Again, this is the type of thing Republicans have been begging for for decades, but especially since the Bush 43 years. Democrats have been free to be as nasty as they want, while Republicans were just “get along go along.” Even Bush 43 himself. Somewhere back in the archives is a post about me refusing to continue to defend him and his administration when they wouldn’t defend themselves. Politics is a verbal sparring sport (which includes some writing), and you cannot always take the high road. Mitt Romney (who’s attacking Trump right now) tried that in 2012: how’d that work out? So did John McCain. If you won’t forcefully stand for your beliefs, why should anyone believe you?
(Fox News) A relative handful of Republicans, meanwhile, spoke out against the president’s attacks on the four women:
Mitt Romney: “Destructive, demeaning and disunifying.†Lisa Murkowski: “There is no excuse for the president’s spiteful comments–they were absolutely unacceptable and this needs to stop.†Tim Scott, the only black Republican in the Senate, chided Trump for “unacceptable personal attacks and racially charged language.â€
That’s from a Howie Kurtz article which has a lot more in it with Republicans defending, but, let it be noted, these same Republicans above rarely condemn the language of the Democrats. How does that help?
