I mean, McConnell puts up some good theater, yet enabled/enables Trump without fail.

But the GOP enticed both the Tea Party and American Evangelicals. They invited them to the merge.

And let's not forget that so many key Republicans have been accepting Russian money for many, many years, long before Trump was foisted as a populist figurehead.

The GOP had endless chances to take Trump down and repeatedly chose not to do so. Continually repainting them as the victims rather than co-conspirators is part of why it's taken so long for anything to be done about all this.
