I don’t think I’ve accused anyone of “liberal hypocrisy” in this thread. The closest I got (which was not very close) was an observation that “the concern seems to have flipped on its head”. No reference to political affiliations, or “hypocrisy”, or even individual posters. Just a generalized observation that some of those “diverse and nuanced opinions” expressed when Mattis was coming in were quite opposite those being expressed now that he’s on his way out.
