David French: I Knew Conservatism Was Dead When Mike Pence’s Approval Plummeted After Jan. 6 and Trump’s Remained High

EXCERPT:

FRENCH: “And I knew we were cooked, totally cooked as a conservative movement by January 7th, 2021, because I could see what everyone else sort of in professional politics could see, which was, on January 7th, of the three big, most powerful Republicans in America at that point, between Mitch McConnell, Mike Pence, and Donald Trump, with Republicans, Mike Pence’s approval plummeted, McConnell’s approval plummeted, and Donald Trump’s stayed sky-high with Republicans. And that taught me that the radicalization was essentially complete.”
