Depends on the Republican. For a long time….


…Republicans generally took fake ops like the one being run on Thomas and the institution of the Supreme Court as genuine, at least to some degree, given their willingness to assign good faith even to their political opponents.

Those days are over for most on the right, who now see the propaganda clearly for what it is. Fake News is just that, and it’s so stupid these days as to barely even warrant a response.

So, if the hypothetical Rep president in your question is one if the old school dimmer bulbs, then you might see some performative navel-gazing.

Anyone with their eyes open, however, would mock this non-story and those who push it with abandon, presupposing that they even view it as worthy of a response at all. I think it’s elicited almost no response from DC Republicans, and the letter sent to the Senate by the Supreme Court — signed unanimously — putting this fake controversy to bed was the coup de grace.
