EXCERPT:
FRENCH: "You know, I think it's really important to point out, where Republican morality has failed, in many ways the law has prevailed. And that’s what you’re talking about with the prosecution of the January 6th defendants, or you’re talking about the giant settlement that Fox has paid to Dominion, probably more checks to come in the future. And even in the Tucker Carlson situation, there’s reporting that the Abby Grossberg lawsuit that was exposing sexism and bigotry in the workplace was a factor in Tucker Carlson’s firing. All of these things are where the law has come in, where the guardrails just blew away the Republican Party. But you hit on something, Joe, that really concerns me. We now have a generation of young conservatives in college who, really, all they have known in these formative years is this Trumpist/Tuckerist form of discourse that’s extraordinarily cruel and extraordinarily dishonest. And we wonder why gen-Z is rejecting that? We don’t want to set up a world where to be conservative means you have to be a jerk, to be conservative means you have to be dishonest, you have to be personally cruel. But that’s what Trumpism is, and it rightfully alienates people."
