The MSM is pushing the White Supremacist BS because everything else is failing...
They are just throwing everything at the wall and hoping something sticks. The problem is that none of the things they have to throw at the wall really have any mass.
Normal republicans, being part of the uniparty, would have caved by now. Heck, they would have caved and pulled Kavanaugh when Blasey ford came up with her nonsense. They simply don’t know how to deal with a real fighter. They’ve not been up against one for many decades.
