Watching the GOP go through its paces on the Roy Moore race for the U.S. Senate in Alabama definitely feels like seeing a party out of practice with simply doing what’s right.
At first the Republican talking point was to condemn the supposed behavior but then to shield Moore (or at least avoid taking a position on him) by adding “if true” to the criticism. But under unrelenting political pressure, the Republican establishment finally woke up to the indefensible nature of their denial about Moore’s situation. It quite simply came down to whom do you believe.
