WASHINGTON – The mumbling and dodging this week by Republicans came straight from the GOP playbook that helped the party endure President Donald Trump’s cringe-inducing choices.
But when Trump was caught bragging of sexual assault and seeking political help from Ukraine, the country was relatively comfortable.
Now, the nation is struggling with crises that affect every single American: a pandemic with more than 100,000 dead. Forty million out of work.
The police asphyxiation of George Floyd and the resulting protests, race riots and suppression by the state. America is on edge.
