Most prominent Republicans know what they are doing when they support the digraced, twice impeached, 71-time indicted former president. Lauren Boebert & a few others may not because she is dumb like wood, but the rest (including but not limited to) Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, Elise Stefanik, Josh Hawley, & Mitch McConnell’s Deafening Silence™ know exactly what they are doing.

This week the current president hosted India’s leader who less than 10 years ago was banned from entering the U.S. because he was guilty of egregious violations of religious freedom against Muslims. Dude is a Hindu nationalist (substitute “white” for “Hindu” & you’ll get an idea) tied to extremist groups that want India to be a Hindu state, not a secular one. It is an ideology at odds with democracy, making the references to India as the largest democratic country in the world & a bulwark against authoritarianism ring hollow. Sadly, sometimes “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” is the most prudent position to take.
