The GOP Remains An Unserious Party

Charlie Sykes: “Even without Trump, the GOP remains a deeply unserious party.”

“A serious party, for example, does not number in its ranks someone like Marjorie Taylor Greene.”

“She is, not to put too fine a point on it: a nut, a fabulist, and a conspiracy theorist of the most wretched water. But today’s GOP has not only elevated her to a seat in Congress, but has made her a member in good standing, embraced by party leadership, and supported by the party’s apparatus and dollars.”

“A serious party has at least minimal standards of political hygiene, but when she and fellow crazy person Lauren Boebert were elected, GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy welcomed and defended them.”
