    “I think it’s really easy to paint all of these Republicans with a broad brush and say that they’re doing it for, you know, their own personal ambitions, which I think is a large majority of them,” Matthews said.

    So the broad brush is fairly warranted then, as expected. As for the rest:

    “But I think another thing that we have to consider as a factor is that a lot of these people won’t come forward even if privately they’ll acknowledge that Trump is unfit or will privately acknowledge that the 2020 election wasn’t stolen.”

    “It’s because they know that they will face death threats, that their families will face death threats,” she observed.

    So in other words, as has already been quite apparent, the few supposed “good” Republicans (the folks who only backed Trump for years and years) don’t know how to disentangle themselves from the monster they spent years supporting and creating.

    I may never had less sympathy for any group.
