Two weeks. It took two weeks for the GOP pundits to drive out Richard Grenell, newly appointed national security spokesman for the Romney campaign. Grenell resigned from the campaign on Tuesday amidst a conservative coalition out to destroy his reputation. Grenell is openly gay.
This is despicable. It's descpicable for those urging him to resign. It's despicable for evangelicals everywhere who refuse to stand up to this bullying. It's despicable for conservatives, as Grenell was a former Bush administration official - a clear sign of how far right the party has shifted in so short a time. It's incredibly despicable for the Romney campaign itself for never strongly backing or defending Grenell and merely offering tepid support after his appointment.
