Isnât his mom in Ohio? I saw a video where the press informed her what her son did. Absolutely clueless - she thought her son dropped off the cat so he could attend a Trump rally (not too far off the mark, actually).

okay, great statement. But itâs really hard for my brain to square this kind of statement with Cottonâs tenure and decision-making as an elected official. (and this goes for the rest of them, too.) How can he be this aware in this case, and yet support all the partyâs racist, anti-immigrant, misogynistic, anti-semitic, anti-Muslim rhetoric and party positions, and vote in lock-step all the other times?
I just keep coming back to this: the problem the GOP has with white supremacists is that they bring the party racism right out into the open, and that is what is dangerous for them. Itâs much better for GOPers to keep that all hush hush and talked about in coded language, where it can be practiced in relative secret and denied in public.
So here they are condemning the overt white supremacists. But theyâre all great friends with Jeff Sessions and think heâs a swell guy.

Outright condemning white supremists, right-wing domestic terrorists, and Nazis ought to be the lowest of low bars for a politician. That so many GOP are squeamish about doing that is truly dismaying.

If you havenât yet read (or heard) New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieusâ moving speech on Confederate monuments, this is an ideal time to do so.

Exactly. Itâs difference between the hard authoritarianism and racial animus of the âalt-rightâ Bannonists and the soft authoritarianism of the so-called âestablishmentâ or âmoderateâ GOP, the Ryanists, Flakists, McConnellists, whatever, etc. who would put the profit and property of the rentier class above the rest of us, even above national security, as it turns out. These two factions are now almost irretrievably married to one another, with the Christian Fundamentalists as their bastard children.

I had the same question when reading his tweet. Why start off by saying you donât know this person? Do you know someone by the same name you met at a ârallyâ or âmeetingâ Senator? Weird.

I think heâs not talking about the driver. Heâs likely responding to a query about one of the torch-holder/tiki demonstrators; the person was identified and lives in Nevada, and an earlier photo surfaced that included both him and Heller, possibly from a campus event or ?

And yet everyone of them voted to confirm Jeff Sessions and shut down Elizabeth Warrenâs reading of Correta Scott Kingâs letter denouncing his racism and condemning his possibly appointment to a Federal bench.

If the GOPers really want to denounce the hatred and bigotry that was displayed in Charlottesville, VA over the weekend, they must demonstrate by abandoning their racist policies!

Unbelievable! Itâs no surprise that someone actually read between the lines and did something that many Republican lawmakers openly deem to be acceptable behavior. Letâs see if the Congressional Republicans stand by their Charlottesville tweets, or continue to aid and abet the White Supremacist in Chief.
