America has been shocked by the amount of scandals, unethical behavior, and nonsense that the Republican Party and their fan base has allowed President Donald Trump get away with. Everyone knows that if former President Barack Obama or 2016 rival Hillary Clinton had said or done even half of the ridiculous things Trump has, it would be an entirely different story.
The GOP’s refusal to hold Trump accountable was called out last night by the last person Republicans wanted to be bashed by — the son of highly respected former POTUS Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan Jr. went on MSNBC last night to speak to Chris Matthews about how Trump continues to get away with the most astounding criminal behavior. According to Reagan’s son, no president prior to Trump would have ever gotten away with “a tenth of the things” Trump has been able to.
While on the panel, Reagan Jr. absolutely pummeled Trump supporters for not being critical of the most corrupt POTUS the country has ever seen. He said:
They aren’t really in touch with reality, I think, and the most important thing to them is that he seems to hate the people that they hate. If we’re angry about something Donald Trump did, Donald Trump must have done something right as far as they’re concerned.”
Reagan Jr. also made an important statement that should make every conservative ashamed, as he spoke about how the GOP has been blinded by their hatred of Democrats. He said:
If you think about Trump’s case—they do like Putin. Putin’s popularity has gone way up. I swear to you, if it was left just up to Trump’s base they would elect Vladimir Putin president of the United States over anyone with a D after their name.”
Those are strong words from the son of a legendary Republican POTUS, but they’re true. You can watch the clip below, which should inspire the GOP to take a long hard look at itself in the mirror:
