Conservative Commentators Like to Fight in the Abstract but Never What’s in Front of Them | 4/18/24

There is more pervasive opinion on the Right that the GOP is a fake opposition than ever before. Yet these same commentators refuse to look in the mirror and recognize that they have enabled this for years and continue to do so to this day. They either sleep through the critical legislative fights and primaries or sometimes downright subvert them. I discuss the “code of silence” around pointing any finger at Trump for supporting Ukraine funding, even as everyone gets all red-faced over Speaker Johnson’s betrayal (with Trump’s support). Commentators are starting to acknowledge the red-state RINO problem but fail to see how Trump has re-elected nearly every one of them and continues to do so to this day. These same commentators refuse to get involved in down-ballot primaries, refuse to engage in red-state legislative fights, and refuse to pressure Trump to the right. Learn more about your ad choices.
