There are people who are far smarter than I am opining about the implications of a New York jury finding Trump culpable of sexual assault in a civil case. But seeing the Republican reaction to the verdict makes it clear that this is a perfect opportunity to make Republicans eat a shit sandwich by proposing censure motions (both in the House and Senate). Either Republicans will be dinged with supporting a rapist or they will piss off their MAGA CHUD base. Let’s see how supposed ‘moderate’ Republican Nancy Mace would handle this.

This wouldn’t change many Republican voters’ minds, but it would remind normies how horrible Trump is–and more importantly, who enabled him.

Of course, professional Democrats believe performative politics is beneath them, so they won’t do this.
