So, another day of Hillary Clinton’s emails and the Steele dossier. This while the president of the United States is lying about the FBI, attacking the FBI, and attacking the rule of law in this country. How does that make any sense at all?
Republicans used to understand that the actions of a president matter, the words of a president matter, the rule of law matters, and the truth matters. Where are those Republicans today? At some point, someone has to stand up in the face of fear of Fox News, fear of their base, fear of mean tweets, stand up for the values of this country, and not slink away into retirement.
This is the president of the United States calling a witness, who has cooperated with his own Justice Department, a ‘rat.’ Say that again to yourself at home and remind yourself where we have ended up. Whether you’re Republican or Democrat, you have to stand on your feet, overcome your shame, and say something,
As I’ve remarked in the past, I grew-up Republican and am shocked by the cowardliness and squalor of the contemporary Republican Party; it must be destroyed and replaced.
