How Republicans Are Digging Their Own Grave By Being Overly Defensive

(Un)Popular Statement of the day: By defending Flynn on unrelated personal misdeeds, the conservatives helped perpetuate conspiracy theories and false narratives.

Frankly, by ceding moral ground on various issues in the course of last year's elections, Republicans have made both the president and the party as a whole more vulnerable to baseless attacks. Had more of them been willing to stick by issues, while calling out various officials when they warranted it, instead of adopting the head-in-the-sand approach with regards to every accusation from the left, we would not be wasting our money on an investigation into obstruction of justice claims by the Senate Judiciary Committee, and giving free ammunition to Mueller.
