They've watched him for four years. It took until now for GOP leaders to see that Trump's dangerous?

“I can’t do it. I can’t stay,” said Mick Mulvaney Thursday in resigning his job as President Trump’s special envoy to Northern Ireland. Mulvaney, Trump’s former chief of staff, was one of a bevy of shocked — shocked! — administration officials, including Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, who quit in protest after Wednesday’s shameful riot.

Then there were the GOP senators, including Steve Daines of Montana and Kelly Loeffler of Georgia, who also saw the light. They had promised to challenge the certification of Joe Biden’s electoral college win, but reversed themselves after the pro-Trump marauders stormed and occupied the Capitol. The riots “changed things drastically,” said Sen. Mike Braun (R-Indiana).

What bravery! What backbone! Surely these Republicans who are challenging the president are profiles in courage.

But hold on just a minute. Trump has been in office for 1,448 days so far, and they are turning on him only now, with 13 days left in his term?
