The Republican leader was silent for more than 30 seconds after he was asked whether he will run for re-election. He froze at a news conference in July.
I’m scarcely excusing his actions on a number of fronts, especially the SCOTUS clusterfuck he engineered. But his support for riling the base up was of the Tea Party, not MAGA, flavour.
He’s literally the leader of the legislative branch of the Republican party. It would be absurd to act like he bears no responsibility for the direction of his party.

He doesn’t deserve less culpability just because he underestimated how much evil he’d do
Underrated comment. Arsonists don’t get clemency for the things they didn’t intend to burn.

That seems like a distinction without a difference.
