Journalists never asked Mitch McConnell, e.g., why he was blocking Obama from appointing a SCOTUS judge after Republicans lost the 2012 presidential election.

i get the cynicism that outrage over Trump's racist post will change minds but the breadth of the GOP criticism is significant -- Collins, Curtis, Wicker, and Scott (among others) are out with statements unequivocally denouncing it. It's a step in the right direction from "I haven't see the tweet."
