The Republican Party has been very slow to condemn Donald Trump over the dinner he hosted at Mar a Lago with supremacist, anti Semitic, and Holocaust Denier Nick Fuentes, as well as the looney Kanye West.
Former Vice President Mike Pence said Trump should apologize.
Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader, said that the behavior was reprehensible.
Others made it clear they were uncomfortable, but would not say they thought an apology by Trump was required, including Senator Lindsey Graham, Senator Tommy Tuberville, Senator Joni Ernst, and Senator Roy Blunt.
Former Governor Chris Christie, Governor Asa Hutchinson, Senator Mitt Romney, and Senator Bill Cassidy were stronger, but also did not insist on an apology.
Future likely Speaker Kevin McCarthy tried to defend Trump, while saying Fuentes and West should not have been invited to dinner at the White House.
Clearly, the Republican leadership lacks guts and principle, and continues to bow to the Fascist authoritarian Donald Trump!
The leaders of the Oath Keepers have been tried and found guilty of seditious conspiracy. Maximum charge they could is 20 years in prison. The verdict serves as a preview for the upcoming trial against the Proud Boys.
