Jay Kuo comments on Mitt Romeny's new "burn book," written by McKay Coppins, an excerpt of which just appeared in the Atlantic:
"Now that he has nothing to lose, along with a conscience and record he apparently wants to clear, Romney’s accounts of the GOP behind the scenes, and of the party he once led but now literally fears, are a gripping read, and ultimately very unsettling."

"They confirm what many have long suspected but the Republican Party has kept secret behind closed doors, and for the first time they confirm a very dark threat to the rule of law in our Republic.
With this book, Romney has broken faith, and ranks, and the party’s deep pathologies and treachery to our constitution are being laid bare."

About his own fellow Republicans, Romney now says,
“A very large portion of my party really doesn’t believe in the Constitution.”
Kuo adds,
"The truth is a welcome disinfectant today, even if the rot has been allowed to fester for years. We need to better understand the depth of Republican hypocrisy, cowardice, and fear in order to safeguard against its effects and call it out clearly. "
