Republican silence just won't stop

 


For Trump: A screaming silence from 18 of Congress’ most vulnerable Republicans (msn.com)   "The more Donald Trump gets indicted, the less certain Republican congressmen want to talk about him — especially if they’re serving in decidedly vulnerable districts that Trump lost to President Joe Biden in 2020.

"Only famed fabulist Rep. George Santos (R-NY) has spoken up forcefully for Trump . . ."

Indeed, if this attempt at defeating President Trump's re-election is successful why would the left not pursue the same strategy in the future against any of their opponents ?

"Republicans running in statewide primaries are faced with a decision: Do they continue to embrace Trump, unbothered by his penchant for playing fast and loose with the truth and the law, even as the wheels of justice slowly roll toward him?" . . .
