Not sure where you're looking, but from my liberal perspective it seems like every prominent liberal has highlighted the fact he attempted a half-assed coup. They just get tuned out by conservatives for being liberal though.
And conservative politicians sure as fuck ain't gonna mention it until they are basically assured of being removed from office, because they are signing a career death sentence if they speak about it (hint: it's because their voter base is Trump's voter base).
They'll speak about it in private but as soon they go public with it they're out. MAGA has a mafia style setup, you're either 100% in or you're out. Soon as you start questioning why (like you're Mike in The Wire) you're out.
There you have it.
