Richard Burr Photo: Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images A handful of Republican Party elites have recoiled from Donald Trump, being driven into opposition by the president’s grossness. A larger number have thrown themselves enthusiastically behind him. In the middle is a quiet group that has accepted and enabled Trump, though sometimes pushing back quietly.
Burr was smart enough to see through the absurdity of Trump’s public stance. He was just brave enough to share his misgivings behind closed doors. Ultimately he decided to save his own skin. MAGA world quickly denounced Burr, with Tucker Carlson publicly demanding his resignation. This is a luxury Trump supporters enjoy because they were already predisposed against Burr for his gestures of independence. Likewise, Loeffler is facing a primary challenge from Representative Doug Collins, a Trump cultist who has positioned himself as one of the most fanatic defenders of the president’s Ukraine extortion scheme.
