The GOP is born anew each morning

From the "you can't make this stuff up" file: Kevin "Loose Lips" McCarthy. I'm sure you remember this, right? It cost him the speakership:

Here is the imbecile today:

McCarthy downplays Trump's involvement in crimes: "What it shows is that if POTUS hires an attorney to solve a problem, he expects them to do it in legal manner... If an impeachable offense is a campaign finance problem, there are a lots of members who are going to have to leave" pic.twitter.com/EfhOhVRJWb

McCarthy urges House Dems to not investigate Trump: "I think America is too great of a nation to have such a small agenda. I think there are other problems out there that we should be focused on... we've investigated this for a long time." pic.twitter.com/KIzC0VCQd7

This is why I have written repeatedly over the course of the 15 years I've been writing this blog: the concept of hypocrisy is dead. Republicans are either too dumb or too shameless to care about such inconsistency. They are entirely situational. Plan accordingly.
Every battle must be fought on its own terms without any consideration of what came before. The GOP is born anew each morning.
