Semafor said today that "a critical mass of conservatives do not trust McCarthy to lead them..."

Conservatives. Is that what they are?

John Boehner's description of the same crowd in his memoir:

"What they're really interested in is chaos... They want to throw sand in the gears of the hated federal government until it fails."

Are the sowers of chaos properly called "conservatives?"

Is MAGA conservative?

Why do #journalists with a commitment to accuracy maintain this fiction?
