Evangelicals would rally on his behalf because he is so very "godly".
None of them (elected officials or normal Republicans) would advocate removing him from office.
Elected Republicans would shout that he's "authentic" and "unfiltered" and then go on about the business of destroying anyone who isn't a rich white dude.

As long as they get to fuck people over they don't care.
