They all act like anything off some "normalcy script" is a "conspiracy theory", until decades later when those "theories" are accepted fact.
They are cowards. Especially given the times we are living in, where it has been established, for the first time in our history, that our elections were compromised by a hostile foreign state. The coy act doesn't wash.
