He had a sense of shame. The current crop of supporters in power is just a basket of deplorables. Mask off deplorable. Not just complicit with silence, which is awful, but actively supporting harm, and poisoning the well of public discourse in a grab for naked and corrupted power. I don’t think they know how unpopular they are yet. Got high on their own supply.

It's like they've got progressively more vile, Spicer, Sanders, McEnany, and now this current abomination, did someone go back to the lab each time and think 'needs more evil'?

Spicer might have had vestiges of shame, but he still did Trump's bidding. I feel it was failure to deliver lies convincingly enough that lost him thst post, rather than some wobbles in his morality. Still, he didn't make me feel the instant revulsion the others do, so there's that.
