During its weekend convention, the Arizona GOP also passed a resolution to censure Pence and former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley for “their dereliction of duty of refusing to support President Donald J. Trump and by default supporting the democrats.”
An equally concerning, if not more concerning, move by the Arizona GOP was to punish Republicans who didn’t support Trump. Neither Pence nor Haley endorsed Trump for president and that is apparently a bigger crime than trying to overturn an election or being removed from office for ethics violations.
It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice.
