It is correct to point out that blame is not equal. Trump is more to blame than GOP Members of Congress, & GOP Members more than Dems.
But Democrats in Congress also own this.
They did not adequately respond after Iran & Venezuela.
They did not call to impeach. It took days to do anything at all.
Or, give them a copy of "They Thought They Were Free" by Milton Mayer.
