Mika Rips Kevin McCarthy, GOP for Dismissing Hush Money: ‘The Republican Reaction Has Been Disgraceful’

EXCERPT:

BRZEZINSKI: "This is painful. The Republican Party screams that it must stand for the rule of law at the border, teargasing desperate families. But they’re not sure, they're just not sure if they want to do the same at the White House. It doesn’t apply. The Trump Justice Department has shown candidate Trump led a conspiracy to commit a campaign finance felony by illegally directing the paying off of two alleged mistresses for their silence to help him win the election. The Republican reaction has been disgraceful. The top Republican in the House Kevin McCarthy shamefully, pathetically says the law shouldn’t be enforced. What a suck-up. GOP senators Hatch, Grassley and Kennedy have become Trump. This week, they’ve tried to divert attention from Trump to Michael Cohen, who Trump hired for decades, and ignoring the Justice Department and scoffing at the rule of law, what makes this country work. The same Republican Party that demands that the full extent of the law be brought down on 2-year-old babies ripped from their mother’s arms at the Mexican border believes we should ignore the apparently illegal actions of a billionaire who won the White House quite possibly by committing felonious acts in the final weeks of the campaign. And fantastic! In America, no man is above the law and they know that. But don’t tell that to these Republicans who continue to defend a politician who is trashing the rule of law, destroy their party and this country in the process. To me, I say good luck with that."
