Did you watch the "Kevin McCarthy's tormentors" this week?
I did. During which I kept thinking of this piece published in the Washington Post in 2012 by Norm Ornstein and Tom Mann.
It's difficult to describe how utterly establishment Mann and Ornstein were at the time. One was at Brookings, the other at American Enterprise Institute.
They saw what was happening: The GOP's attack on all institutions. The press didn't want to know. Now it does.

@jayrosen_nyu I remember when it seemed like Norm Ornstein was quoted in half the articles and was a regular on McNeil-Leher. Not exactly a rabble rouser.
