Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) was pushed out of office by Trump and now that he is on his way out the door, he is still talking like a Republican, but also saying some of the quiet parts out loud.

When have you heard any Republican talk about the Trump family and corruption?

Over the last decade, no matter what the Trumps have done, or been alleged to have done, Republicans would either play dumb and claim to know nothing or turn a blind eye and not talk about it.

Trump and his family have been so in your face with corruption that it makes the Republicans who still choose to ignore it look corrupt for enabling this president and his family.

MS NOW’s Stephanie Ruhle asked Tillis about Trump corruption, “ I wanna talk about corruption for a moment because I know you feel like, listen, corruption's been around since the dawn of time. We've seen it for years. We've seen it in both parties. And it's bad no matter who does it Do you think we have ever seen the level of corruption, the billions of dollars the president and his family are making? Right now the largest holder of the Trump meme coin that has no intrinsic value has $104 million worth of the Trump meme coin- and the president's hosting a dinner for the largest holders of that coin.”
