Republicans know Trump's attempt to overturn the election is dangerous, but they're too cowardly to

fight it.

Donald Trump's fake voter-fraud allegations continue to get laughed out of court. He's literally running out of states in which to stage his pathetic coup attempt. Even his administration's own attorney general, Bill Barr, told the Associated Press on Tuesday, "We have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election."

Within a few hours, the Justice Department tepidly softened Barr's statement, adding that the investigation that had turned up no meaningful voter fraud was not yet completed.

Barr has been one of Trump's most loyal attack dogs, so this all should be over now, but it won't be. Several die-hard media Trumpists immediately pounced on Barr for his insolence, including the Fox Business host Lou Dobbs, who called Barr "either a liar of a fool or both" and insinuated he might be "compromised."

If Trumpism has shown us anything, it's that it can always go lower.

Republicans are perfectly OK with overturning the election, if that's what it takes to keep them in power.
