    They do, but only when their own start to make trouble for the party elites. Like Madison Cawthorn and his accusations of Washington orgies and cocaine use. He wasn’t held accountable for anything when he was their agent of chaos, but once the chaos started hurting them, they were all in on holding him accountable.

      I wonder if this is the actual top reason they like so many criminals and deviants - so they have dirt on people who don’t fall in line.

      You can’t (reliably) oust a politician who turns on you if you don’t have any dirt on them…
