When Mitch McConnell was asked on Dec. 1 why he was not speaking out against then-President Donald Trumps lies about a rigged election, he shrugged.
The future will take care of itself, McConnell said.

Now, just five months after McConnell's remarks, the Republican Partys leaders are again failing to confront Trumps sustained war on reality and truth because they think they need his support to have a chance at winning in an upcoming election.
Trump continues to deceive his own supporters with lies about widespread fraud in the 2020 election and is unrepentant about his role in fomenting one of the worst days in U.S. history. But the blame doesnt reside solely with the former president. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., has played a major role in shielding Trump from any political consequences and in rehabilitating his image.
