Hypocritical Trump Endorsement Shows "Deep Moral Rot" in Republican Party

This week, South Carolina Republican Rep. Nancy Mace appeared in a fiery interview on ABC’s “This Week With George Stephanopoulos.” During the interview, Stephanopoulos asked Mace how she could square being a rape survivor with endorsing the former president who was found liable by a jury for sexual assault. This endorsement also comes after Rep. Mace said he should never hold office again for his role in the Capitol attack on January 6th. Steve Schmidt calls this hypocritical reversal a “moral rot” and representative of a larger movement in the Republican party.

There is a very significant, “exhausted majority” of Americans looking to move past this rotten moment in American life. They have lost trust and faith in government, business, media and not-for-profit institutions at a moment of technological, cultural and economic upheaval. Fascism did not rise in the 1930s because it was strong, but rather, because democracy was weak. The cycle is repeating itself with a new extremism rising in 2020s America. On the podcast – consistent with the mission of The Warning newsletter offered on Substack and The Warning YouTube channel – I will be joined by interesting guests – some familiar, and some you may never have heard of – to discuss the political and cultural currents that are shaping our times, as well as the unseen forces driving politics that are rarely discussed on cable news. It's important for you to hear from a diverse range of voices – not just me – about the issues facing America today.
