So, it appears that Republican Senators are set to enter the last stage of every Trump defense: sure he did it, but there’s nothing wrong with what he did.
Okay, so maybe I’m missing something, but doesn’t that also sort of undercut the notion that the thing that Joe Biden didn’t do, that Trump wanted investigated, was itself wrong (or would have been wrong, if he’d actually done it). If Trump can hold favorable American action hostage to his personal interests, why can’t Biden? And if that’s the case, why did Trump want him investigated in the first place, since by Republican standards he did nothing wrong.
Of course, we all know the answer to this question: It’s Okay if You’re a Republican.
The thing is, every time they pull this sort of thing, they ask the American people to swallow something even more putrid than the last thing they asked them to swallow. Sure, the yahoos will go for it, but there’s a limited supply of those. I suppose it will matter a lot if the media takes this defense seriously. There are some indications that even the Beltway media is finding it hard to swallow this stuff, and they’ve been the ones most eager to eat Republican bullshit in the past.
