On one hand, I'm happy for anyone who comes forward and denounces Trump, because that makes it easier for the next one and the next one and the next one.

On the other hand, he can't pretend to be some coal miner or factory worker who had no other news source than Fox or OAN. He saw Trump up close and personal and knew exactly what Trump was.

He's posturing to gain future leverage. It's the beginning of the politicians pretending to care for political points.

Absolutely.

MTG resigned at the perfect time. She can castigate him all she wants without the responsibility of being in a position to actually demand impeachment.

And was on the record in the fox lawsuit as hating Trump. Still came out and slobbed his knob in the '24 election.

I saw a compilation of Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Lindsay Graham, and other GOP stalwarts denouncing Trump as a bigoted blowhard.

But they all lined up when he won.
