No, and I would not expect them to.
But ala the Democrats and the comparatively miniscule crimes of Richard Nixon, they can beat the drums and make enough noise to get something in motion.
I’m not a follow the leader type person, but elected officials are the ones with the bully pulpit not us.
The American Mind is controlled by the media. Until that is changed the noise you propose will not be heard.
