Another potential scandal has cast a pall over Trump’s presidency, and as has become a learned behavior in the Republican Party, the vast majority of GOP officials are declining to speak out against him.
But their non-responses also speak volumes.
After a whistleblower complaint released Thursday alleged President Trump’s misdeeds with regard to Ukraine, reporters set about getting reaction from Republican elected officials. They ran into a stone wall.
As CNN’s Ted Barrett summarizes, many Republican senators claimed they hadn’t even read the relatively brief document, despite it having consumed the political world. But even those who said they had weren’t ready to completely dismiss the idea that there’s something amiss here.

What happened to those hearings into FISA abuses and spying on the White House? Lindsey, Lindsey, anybody, anybody ???
If the coup against Trump succeeds, it will be with the active assistance of the GOP - by doing nothing to stop it.
Consider the source.
Don’t interrupt your enemeny when they are making a mistake
The Washington Post.
Bush League Republicans want to get rid of Trump and get back to business as usual, betraying the citizens and importing cheap labor.
You possibly don’t think that ONLY RATS put money in their pockets from shady deals with companies and other shady Countries do you???
If you think this, I suggest you start ready history as far back as the founding fathers...
I agree, and thankfully the Trump presidency apparently will leave a crater holes where both the GOP & DNC once resided.
Typical MSM...any action is twisted for the narrative.
The GOP’s non-defense of Trump on Ukraine speak volumes
The GOP’s defense of Trump on Ukraine speak volumes
The GOP’s strong defense of Trump on Ukraine speak volumes
The GOP’s weak defense of Trump on Ukraine speak volumes
Exactly.
You know the MSM.
Extortion, graft, bribery and embezzlement is now OUR FORM OF GOVERNMENT.
This is why the government establishment is in revolution against the president. This is their way of life they are protecting.
The people need their own revolution to overturn this form of government that has evolved from their own lack of attention and lack of insistence on standards and once again restore a true republic.
Consider the fact that they’re probably just as dirty as Biden.
The “source” is correct on this.
Where are the blistering rebukes from Republican Politicians against the Rats? So far, one small group of Republicans made a statement and the Media made sure it wasn’t widely broadcast. They should be out there every day pounding on the Rats, not hiding in their Offices.
The Rats were on TV all the time lambasting the Clinton Impeachment. The all stood together on the steps of the Capitol Building supporting Clinton who was Guilty as charged. They protect their own, no matter what it takes.
Why isn’t the GOP paying for Commercials 24/7 featuring the Video of Biden’s threat against the Ukraine with a title running underneath saying “nobody is above the Law”?
How about running the Video of Obama telling the Russian President that he would be more “flexible” after the Election and to let Vlad know?
You fight fire with fire, not squirt guns.
Considering it is the WaPo and automatically fake, I still would say that the GOP can’t possibly defend that which does not need a defense.
Why would the deep state goop not be into ripping off the Ukraine as much as the deep state demonic-rats
citing CNN
Fake News collusion
Situation normal for the pathetic Republican Retreaters.
I read some comments by Leader McConnell that seemed to sum things up nicely.
Why even dignify something this petty with a detailed response.
Didn’t Mitch come out and slammed the whole thing or did this writer miss it? No wonder people call this paper the Compost.
