The least convincing Republican defense of Donald Trumps attack on Mika Brzezinski surely belongs to White House principal deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who declared that Americans knew what they were getting when they elected him. The implication is that because Americans understood that Trump was a vulgar misogynist during the campaign, theres nothing wrong with his vulgar misogyny today.LATEST FROM POLITICS Trump’s Voter-Fraud Commission Makes Its First MovePut aside the fact that a majority of Americans voted against Trump. Put aside the fact that even those Americans who did vote for him largely did so in spite of, rather than because of, his crude, sexist outbursts: Exit polls showed that among Americans who prioritized good judgment, Clinton beat Trump by 40 points.The true idiocy of Sanderss statement is the implication that because a president said or did something during the campaign, he shouldnt be criticized for saying or doing it while president. By that standard, Republicans had no right to criticize Obamacare.
