Republicans are being asked about Trump's criminality, and they are burying their heads in the sand. This, in many ways, is a continuation of the Fox News effect. The Republican Party, as I have often stated, is a comfortable opposition party, but can't handle actual governance. This is because they fundamentally have come to believe that government should do the very least possible. That's nice as a theory from the 1700s, but it's insufficient for the modern world.
Ensconced in their comfortable ideological and informational bubble, they have not had to deal with unpleasant facts. Trump himself might be the best example of this. He never knew that being President meant being responsible for both his actions and the governance of the country.
But facts have an unwelcome way of making themselves felt.
The Senate GOP can run from the microphones as much as they want, but the public facts are already incredibly damning. That dynamic will only get worse as the Democrats gain subpoena power.
Keep asking. They can only evade the truth for so long.
UPDATE: Similar point.
