Moscow Mitch stooped to pen an op-ed in the Washington Post, his sage vitriol telling what a horror had been done to the Kurds. It was impossible for him to write out "Trump," so he emulated the Racist-in-Chief and blamed Obama. 

He and the other lick-spittles are loathe to criticize their leader, knowing that to do so would imperil them in the eyes of the leader's base. And that horde is now vital to Mitch's own debased policies, so his defense of a liar and profligate and coward is imperative. And so easy for him to rationalize. 

He and Lindsey both hate what has been done to the Kurds, and what has been gifted to the Russians, but they also love the perks at the Trumpian trough, so they lament in soft tones.

And they mirror the screeching from their favorite man-child: it was Obama's fault. The recourse of blaming a black man has always been dear to their heart, and now they have the cover to make the claim in every circumstance. 

They will never will resort to decency, that being a characteristic of Obama's and incompatible with their own pseudo-Christian souls.

But even this mild and indirect criticism too will pass, and the stalwart sycophants will debase themselves as commanded by their jefe. It is a small price to pay for judges, tax cuts, de-regulation, oil, and invitations to Mar-muy-Largo. A grand old party, indeed.
