You either put up with it or remove yourself from it.
I think this might be another aspect of fear of failure, although in these cases the person is so scared of being shown to be wrong that they'll enter denial over it, to the extent of irrationality. This phenomenon seems to be especially common, if not ubiquitous amongst politicians.

Unfortunate part is people like that are everywhere.
