OPINION:
The fealty of the Republican Party to Donald Trump must end. His despicable personal behavior and the failure of Republicans to censure him is destroying the party. The phrase “You are what you choose” applies here. If we choose to support Mr. Trump, we will inevitably become more like him.
The GOP’s rescue from Trump must begin with a high-profile Republican, such as House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. Several months ago, Mr. McCarthy did make such a departure, but after the infamous meeting at Mar-a-Lago, he suddenly lost his backbone and came back on board with Mr. Trump.
Mr. McCarthy needs to regain his senses and lead the Republican Party away from Mr. Trump and back to the principles we once stood for. And it needs to happen soon.
