Republicans abandon beliefs to embrace Trump | READER COMMENTARY

I was disappointed to hear that Republicans like U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, who held Donald Trump “practically and morally responsible” for his coup d’etat attempt on Jan. 6, 2021, now are giving Trump their full support (“Jan. 6 no problem for Senate GOP,” June 18).

Maybe they have something to learn from Alexander Hamilton who supported his arch political enemy, Thomas Jefferson, over Aaron Burr after the two had tied in the Electoral College in 1800. As Hamilton says in the hit musical about his life, “When all is said and all is done, Jefferson has beliefs. Burr has none.”
