I'm sure he'll get even braver when he's gone completely. The Republican office-holders who have failed to stand up to Trump are profiles in cowardice.
It reminds me of all the memoirs talking about getting tough on Putin written by politicians who appeased him & courted him when they were in power.
If you want credit for a "better late than never" awakening, start by admitting your failure, not whitewashing it. Many Republicans were afraid of being primaried by Trumpists so they didn't act. Power over principle.
