Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Capitol Hill on Tuesday. (J. Scott Applewhite/AP)Opinion writerSenate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) this week underscored — perhaps, contributed to — the peril in which the body’s Republican majority finds itself. Michael Cohen’s testimony isn’t going to help Senate Republicans either. Why are you supporting a candidate of Trump’s defective character rather than supporting a different Republican? To be blunt, they’re going to be painted as spineless sycophants who didn’t stop an unhinged president when they had a chance.
