All these Republicans declaring their "concern" with Trump

about hosting West and Fuentes will fall right back into the fold once Trump issues an non-apology apology.
We will hear "He understands his mistake and in not an antisemite."

Let's remember when McConnell didn't vote to convict but issued a statement that Trump was guilty of a crime and should be prosecuted. Six months later, he said he would support Trump if he was the nominee in 2024.

Let’s face it, TFG still owns the Qpublican party. All who want to get ahead still need his blessing. I heard all this BS concern after the Access Hollywood tape. They will still kiss his butt.

"non-apology apology". He just has to claim that he isn't anti-semetic and they will fall in line.

ya know they had to huddle first, see how the public was going to react, see what corporate media would do, before doing anything.

GQP doesn't care about "concerned", they are selfish bullies.

...a racist fascist Party lead by racists and fascists...

...just like their fascist friend putin...they make up shit, lie, accuse others of doing what they are and do...never concede, never confess, never agree, never cooperate, never do anything other than what benefits yourself...

...it's democracy's tolerance for these pricks that destroys democracies...democracies hand these assholes the rope to hang democracies by...

...what to do?...we have to let them speak but we don't have to pretend their speech has equal weight or should be treated as valid...if they put one toe over the line into illegality they should be hammered, creditably destroyed then sent to prison forever life...

...with every breath and every move they make they should be continuously and incessantly challenged...and anyone who enables these bastards should be treated the same...there is no 'gray' area when dealing with racism and fascism...

...you're either with it or against it...

no Magat is going to take Trump on, he will burn down the party. The Republican party is the party of white Supremacists.

I don't do cable TV except for Nicolle so I will wait until 4 PM to see what kind of concern Magats have.

When are McConnell and McCarthy going on TV and condemning Trump for meeting with Fuentes and Ye? I will turn on my TV for that.

that counts as condemnation. I give Romney credit, that's 1 Republican who actually condemned Trump.
