Tuesday, after Trump threw out the anti-semitic trope that American Jews have a loyalty to another country, one poor fool went through mental contortions to assure us that Trump really didn’t say what we heard him say…

Matt Brooks, executive director of the Republican Jewish Coalition, said in an interview Tuesday that the president was talking about “being true to yourself.”

“I don’t think it invokes those [anti-Semitic] tropes,” Brooks said, describing Trump’s message to Jewish people as, “You’re being disloyal to yourself to say, ‘Hey, I support somebody who is known to espouse anti-Semitic comments.’ ”

Wednesday, Trump undercut that defense less than a day later, and doubled down…

Brooks declined to comment Wednesday.

You see, the cowards KNEW they had chained themselves to a madman from the start. They KNEW they his actions would be indefensible, and that the justifications for his actions would change hour by hour because they understood they had backed an amoral liar.
