Steve Schmidt on Republicans’ silence: ‘It is a tragic hour’ There are not enough words in the English dictionary to describe the horrific events of this lawless administration from the last four years. And what has been the most tragic so far, besides the deaths that are on Trumps hands with this virus, is the support from his cowardly, complicit base, who have sacrificed their own selves for Donald Trump. This country fought and died to preserve our sacred Constitution, and his base flushed it down the toilet for a murdering thief. God help us.
