I’m wondering why it didn’t happen. I don’t enjoy the answers that are springing to mind. We should remember that just because Trump crosses the line all the time doesn’t mean there isn’t a line. And when we fail to roundly and loudly condemn him for crossing the line we participate in its erasure.

He made this monstrous and defamatory claim in the Oval Office in the presence of the leader of a foreign nation. It matters.
