Tapes! Tapes! Tapes!

GOP just won’t believe their ears

Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana says he is not interested in any “gotcha” books, including Bob Woodward’s latest, which revealed President Donald Trump consistently claimed the coronavirus was no worse than the flu when he knew otherwise.

Here’s what dead-end defenders of Trump’s every lie, every incompetent action and non-action will say: Ah, you see how smart and clever our leader is. I feel perfectly calm about COVID-19 and the economy thanks to this very rich man.

And thinking Republicans: Tapes! That’s it. I’m done. The guy allowed Woodward to tape this stuff!?! I’ve seen this before. Nixon’s response was: I am not a crook. Trump is left telling me: Don’t panic. I am not your lying nanny. I just sound that way on the Woodward tapes.
