Some Republican state legislators in Florida, North Carolina, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Tennessee, and Texas have lost their minds – they’re pushing legislation to protect drivers who attack protestors with their cars.
And Catherine Rampell for The Washington Post does not mince words:
[T]here’s plenty of blame to dump on President Trump for emboldening white supremacists and for encouraging violence against peaceful protesters. But to treat him as an aberration in encouraging violence against protesters — in particular, liberals and people of color — is flat wrong.
The moral rot in the Republican Party runs deep…. These politicians are not fit to serve the public, in any level of government.
The Republican Party is morally bankrupt and for some reason the electorate keeps letting them write checks.
