Journalist Frank Rich, an executive producer for HBO shows Veep and Succession, on Thursday warned Donald Trumps Republican collaborators of the price their families will one day pay for unwavering devotion to the president.

Theres going to be a reckoning, Rich said on MSNBCs The Last Word With Lawrence ODonnell. They will be implicated, so will their children and their grandchildren, he added. Theres going to be a stain.

Rich said that, when it comes to Trump, it is a cult because people who in some cases did have reputations that they have now destroyed, good reputations, have made fools of themselves for their dear leader.

The cult leader is never going to be reformed or see the problems of their ways, he added.But the people who swirl around them and were taken in, theyre going to pay a price, a human price and a reputational price forever.

Rich, in an article for New York magazine(where he is a writer-at-large), published on Tuesday, wrote that once Trump has vacated the Oval Office, and possibly for decades thereafter, his government, like any other deposed strongmans, will be subjected to a forensic colonoscopy to root out buried crimes, whether against humanity or the rule of law or both.

With time, everything will come out it always does, he added, claiming Trumps collaborators, our Vichy Republicans, will own all of it whether they were active participants in the wrongdoing, the so-called adults in the room who stood idly by or those elite allies beyond the White House gates who pretended not to notice administration criminality and moral atrocities in exchange for favors like tax cuts and judicial appointments.
