The moral hypocrisy of Trump’s GOP enablers

So it was strange that Johnson has allied himself with the manifestly immoral Donald Trump. Wearing the uniform of the day, a blue suit festooned with a red tie, Johnson — who has supported outlawing pornography, penned op-eds opposing marriage equality and advocated against everything from abortion to LGBTQ rights — traveled to a dingy courthouse in downtown New York City to voice his support for Donald Trump on trial for committing 34 felonies related to hush money payments to a porn actress.

Johnson doesn’t share Trump’s interest in porn stars. He and his son have purchased the Covenant Eyes porn surveillance app, which scans all your online activity and “sends a report to your accountability partner,” Johnson told some Louisiana Baptists a couple of years ago. “My accountability partner right now is Jack, my son. He’s 17. … I’m proud to tell you, my son has a clean slate.”

Hypocrisy should come as no surprise in a politician, and perhaps it is not misplaced, but this one rivals Trump’s mentor Roy Cohn denying he was gay even as he was dying of AIDS.
