The New Vichys: Cowardly GOP Runs Away From Questions On Trump Again
France's Vichy government immediately surrendered to Hitler with no resistance and went down in infamy as cowards to a fascist leader. And now...Senate Republicans are following suit.
By John Amato
VIDEO AT LINK~
Republicans in the Senate have become willing collaborators to Trump's narcissistic, criminal and chaotic rule.
Trump's presidency has cost so many American lives during the pandemic. It's cost us our economy as he has no plans to coordinate reopening, and now he's stoking violence as protestors in all fifty states rise up against police lynchings.
Republican Senators have sat on the sidelines and watched him undermine our national security, destroy relationships with our closest allies while kowtowing and sucking-up to autocratic and authoritarian leaders like Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin.
Running to the presidential bunker after protests broke out in DC, the stable genius is now ordering the military and police to assault civilians in order to show what a man he is.

Nothing highlights their cowardice more than when NBC's Kasie Hunt tried to get comments from Republican Senators over Trump's thuggish assault on the protesters.
Watching this two-minute video you can see them flee the scene, refuse to comment, claim ignorance, or say they are late for lunch.
Can you imagine that? 'Sorry, I'm late for lunch' as US citizens were being jackbooted by Trump's brown-shirts.
They need to be kicked out of power in 2020 just as much as Trump.
They disgrace themselves as well as the nation.

This is so important. We have to make sure not one republican is elected to any office in 2020.

And we have to figure out a way to start cleaning out the right wing judicial appointments that the republican party has shoved up America's rear end, as they weaponized gerrymandering and judicial appointments.

(7,199 posts)4. The "new Vichys"...
Amato credits his title referencing the new Vichys as coming from (of all people) George Will, in his 01 June column that had this sentence:
Senate Republicans must be routed, as condign punishment for their Vichyite collaboration...
It caught my eye, too. A pretty good description.
