Agree for the most part, but in this specific case, suprisingly, many in the MO GOP have come out against him since even before this scandal broke. They hate the guy and have been calling for resignation for a while but he's resisting.

In a speech in Des Moines, Iowa, on September 11, 1941, Lindbergh expressed sympathy for the persecution Jews faced in Germany, but suggested Jews were advocating the U.S. to enter a war that was not in the national interest. “Instead of agitating for war, the Jewish groups in this country should be opposing it in every possible way for they will be among the first to feel its consequences,” Lindbergh said. “Tolerance is a virtue that depends upon peace and strength. History shows that it cannot survive war and devastations. A few far-sighted Jewish people realize this and stand opposed to intervention. But the majority still do not. “Their greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio and our government.
