"He isn’t some hideous, orange Venus emerging from the half-shell," Milbank wrote. "Trump is merely a reflection of the sickness in the GOP, the problem won’t go away when he does."
The essay, titled "The GOP is sick. It didn’t start with Trump — and won’t end with him," suggested Republicans have become "Destructionists" and laid out a list of accusations: "They destroyed truth, they destroyed decency, they destroyed patriotism, they destroyed national unity, they destroyed racial progress, they destroyed their own party, and they are well on their way to destroying the world’s oldest democracy."
