give repubs a pass on everything they do - by spinning it differently, by letting it drop off of the news cycle, and even by not reporting it at all ... and their supporters don't care as long as abortion is illegal, POC are tortured, and they "stick it to the libs." Also, a LOT of people don't actually pay attention to the news (my former housekeeper voted for Trump and told me she doesn't really follow or pay attention to the news) and certainly do not view it critically!
