As you would expect, a number of GOP establishment figures have accused Biden of appeasing Putin. You have to make a display of standing up to bullies to keep them under control, they say. Just think of Munich.
These are the same people who indulged Trump at every turn, who refuse to criticize the January 6 rioters and their accomplices, and who remain silent while Trump, Carlson, and the rest of the extreme right take Russia’s side in the dispute.
What’s that I smell? Could it be . . . the stench of hypocrisy?
