Conservatives such as Megyn Kelly, Ben Shapiro, and Ron DeSantis have been bitter critics of the brothers and have chastised their fellow conservatives who have embraced the duo. By contrast, others on the conservative right have adopted a “hear no evil, fear no evil, see no evil” non-partisan stance.

The bipartisan avalanche of selective amnesia to depict Graham as a congenial and amiable fellow who was never confrontational, even with those with whom he was politically at odds, is perversely disingenuous.

They despise the fact that a Black woman’s stoic silence ripped open the pathology, fear, and fecklessness of those White men.
