And that’s one of the most cynical and morally bankrupt strategies that a large number of Republicans have attempted to employ for at least 2 decades.
And it is a well worn tactic. Some recall how Bush dismissed critics of his made up wars abroad and police state tactics at home by questioning their patriotism, with phrases like "they hate America". Hillary Clinton dismissed critics of her, by saying they were against her because of her gender, with phrases like "they have a problem with strong women". They make specific criticism of a single person or policy, an insult to a much wider group, in a cynical ploy to try to rally the entire group behind them, rather than addressing the substance of the criticism.
