Well, it took them long enough. We can only hope that their silence has not allowed Donald Trump to do irreparable damage to this country.
CNN contributor Maggie Haberman shares her findings on what some Republicans are now saying about their dear leader.
In light of the many issues challenging the Trump administration — border wall funding and threatened government shutdown, a tanking stock market, a very controversial Syrian withdrawal and a stunning protest resignation of Defense Secretary of James Mattis — host John Berman asked his guest if all of this drama was really about President Donald Trump’s survival in the White House.
Calling it a “critical moment,” Haberman reported that there was waning support for Trump from the right, saying “A number of conservatives who worked on the campaign and supported the president and now say, you know, I regret doing that, and this was a mistake, this administration is, you know, off the rails, and all of these investigations that are coming to a head will be a huge problem.”
She adding that these conservatives “disgusted” with details that have emerged from the Michael Cohen plea deal. In her eyes, investigations into Trump’s campaign are ” going to intensify as we get into the year” before bringing up impeachment. “It takes 20 Republican senators to vote in favor of impeachment. This could be a critical moment.”
