That there wasn't a single mainstream Republican who stood up to Trump during his presidency.

I mean, come on. Who wrote this?

We're supposed to believe that EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN in government went from taking about how unfit Trump was when he was a candidate ... to standing behind him 100% even when he cozied up to Russia, paid hush money to a porn star, and lied about a Presidential election?

Which was tough to achieve before 1990, but Harold Styles of Sioux Falls South Dakota pulled it off.

That guy was a king in South Dakota.
