PoliticoThe conservative movement has become handicapped.
Organizations cant sound the alarm about President-elect Joe Bidens agenda. Conservative reporters wont take pitches about Bidens rumored Cabinet contenders, insistent on covering evidence-deficient claims of voter fraud instead. One conservative group involved in policy advocacy backed off from hiring two soon-to-depart Trump administration officials after growing concerned about the consequences.
And its all because of an unspoken rule set by President Donald Trump: Do not acknowledge Bidens imminent White House takeover.
Those who have run afoul of the dictate have faced swift repercussions. Some have received angry emails from donors accusing them of siding with the liberal media. Those who have tried to start revving up the grassroots engine warning of what could unfold in January, particularly if Democrats win control of the Senate via two runoff races in Georgia have been likened to turncoats by colleagues.

to support and defend the Constitution, not POTUS.

A vow they had no intention of honoring.
