These comments aren’t for the rubes. They are for Trump. You know he’s watching.
^This. It was revealed at the Yovanovitch hearings just last week that one reason the State Department didn't more aggressively defend her was because of fear that Trump might attack anyone who defended her on twitter. Legions of GOP politicians, including some very prominent ones, live in fear of Trump attacking them on social media. Look at what Trump did to Yovanovich on twitter while she was still testifying. Every Republican going on a news talk show (on any network, not just Fox) knows that Trump is watching them closely, or someone around him is, and so they just offer effusive praise and endless excuses for Dear Leader. And if they don't, they know they'll get the Amash treatment. It's the new normal for the GOP.
