The Cult of Donald Trump – aka the Republican Party – is proving once again how devoted they are to their Dear Leader despite the voluminous record of his legal and ethical misconduct. The party is signaling that it will remain loyal to Trump no matter what crimes he has committed, even if he is convicted by a jury of his peers.<\/p>\n

Ronna McDaniel, the chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), was interviewed by Kaitlan Collins on CNN Friday. The topics of conversation naturally included the recent indictments of Trump on 37 felony counts ranging from obstruction of justice to violations of the Espionage Act. Trump’s response to being indicted was a predictable emotional meltdown attacking President Biden and the the special counsel, Jack Smith.<\/p>\n

Somewhat less predictable was the position McDaniel took when Collins asked her about whether the GOP would still insist that all of their candidates pledge to support the eventual nominee, if that person had been convicted of felonies. At first, McDaniel shamelessly dodged…<\/p>\n

Collins:<\/strong> Why should Republicans be asked to support someone who could potentially be convicted of a felony?
\nMcDaniel:<\/strong> There is no convicted felon in the Republican field right now<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s technically true. There is just a candidate that has been indicted on 71 counts in two different cases. Nevertheless, McDaniel is adamant that the loyalty oath be enforced if candidates want to participate in GOP primary debates. That doctrine is in effect even though there is little hope that Trump would comply with it. Why should he? He never did before.<\/p>\n

The interview actually went downhill from there. Collins sought to press McDaniel on the issue of Trump’s indictments and the GOP’s gutless and amoral toleration of his lawlessness and corruption. But her justifications were pitifully weak and disassociated…<\/p>\n

McDaniel:<\/strong> Republicans feel like there’s one system of justice for them and a different for Democrats. There’s one standard for Hillary Clinton and a different for Donald Trump.
\nCollins:<\/strong> But the allegations are not the same for Hillary Clinton.
\nMcDaniel:<\/strong> Because she never was investigated.
\nCollins:<\/strong> She was investigated.
\nMcDaniel:<\/strong> She had a BleachBit server. She destroyed phones.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
