Opinion | Ashley Pratte: 'The very thing Republican candidates warned about is exactly what they are now defending as proper and rightful behavior befitting of the presidency — and that is incredibly dangerous for the future of our republic.' NBCNewsTHINK
And now that Democrats are moving forward with articles of impeachment, Republicans are sure to ramp up their defenses. But they should be cautious in how far they’re willing to stick their necks out, seeing as the political tides will eventually turn and their defenses of Trump could one day be used against their efforts to hold a Democratic president to account.
It was clear Republican voters found the behaviors of the Clintons to be unacceptable; Republican officials should be eager to uphold the ideals of accountability, no matter which political party controls the White House. The problem is that these so-called morals are just a sham, and abandoning them is the only way to defend the occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
No wonder Washington was and is so unpopular. The very thing Republican candidates warned about is exactly what they are now defending as proper and rightful behavior befitting of the presidency — and that is incredibly dangerous for the future of our republic.
