Hmm. If I thought any Republicans cared, I'd say that the behaviors of Patel, his girlfriend, and her friend, make an excellent recipe for Kompromat.
But the GOP doesn't even care about unsecured Signal chats about military strategies, nor clueless officials sending classified info to journalists.

I don't think any religion's deities, except those unofficial oines who worship powerful, corrupt leaders, would count this as moral.
Donald Trump claims to be "Pro-Life." Indeed, he was the first sitting president to attend the annual March for Life.
But this didn't stop him from conspiring with Elon Musk to kill 600,000 (so far) people, 2/3 of them children. You see, when Elon says we need more children he means *white* ones.
