No the headline is not “Elected GOPers In DC Silent” rather it’s:

In the back of a few GOPers minds, I’m betting they are harboring a secret fantasy to put the hit on Trump to issue in the reign of Pence.

As did Rep. Chip Roy, though he wrote in the same [tweet](https://twitter.com/chiproytx/status/1150607032602390528) that “Reps who refuse to defend America should be sent home 11/2020.”

Wow! Just wait until this doofus reads the Mueller Report. If he ever does…

I’ll bet most of them have enough in their slush funds to be able to do it.

Silent because they’re as racist as he is. McConnell probably wishes he was able to own slaves

While Trump is still trying to be the dictator Americans never asked for, he actually is the dictator of the Republican Party. They know if they even whisper one word against Trump, he’ll set up a primary challenge without hesitation. And like craven Paul Ryan and so many others, they’re putting their electoral interests ahead of the country and their own constituents.

It’s funny to me how so many men who ran for office in part because they like seeing their faces on TV and like to share their opinions on things with the world… are desperately afraid of seeing their face on TV and sharing their opinion with the world. Scared shitless of their voters (like a whipped dog!)

The only people who hold the GOP base in greater contempt than I do are GOP lawmakers.

Wow. That picture says it all. Lloyd and Harry, oops i mean Mike and Mitch, look like they’re watching as trump pisses in their coke.

That would probably be better than his actual behavior in the last 24 hours.

It will only get worse with Gerrymandering.

As more and more elected officials will only fear the primary.
