Where are the GOP leaders? Claire McCaskill on Republican Silence over Racist joke

1. Same as any other time when Trump or a minion did something awful:

Hiding, silent, pretending they didn't hear it or know about it, excusing it if they can be persuaded to acknowledge it at all - not wanting to incur the disfavor of Dear Leader. Like in North Korea.

2. Hoping it all goes away in a news cycle heartbeat

If they stand by and do nothing, they won't ruffle Dear Leaders feathers.
I think back to the moment in 2008 at a televised town hall, when presidential candidate John McCain corrected a delusional woman who had accused Barrack Obama of being an "Arab". We're certainly not seeing that sort of civility with today's GOP.

3. I think Romney

Should endorse and do it in Michigan. Wasn’t his Dad a Governor of Michigan?

4. The two of them that are left had the day off. 😁
