Carmen (and Scott) continue to pat themselves on the back for being superior and more enlightened than those other Republicans, without even a second of reflection of how their party got there, or how (or even whether) it can be saved.
Hard to work up much sympathy for Carmen or any other Republicans*.
Republicans set the stage with Newt and the impeachment of Clinton.
Then, after stealing the 2000 election, the subsequent bungling allowing 9/11, followed by the invasion of Iraq replacing whatever objectives were going to be addressed in Afghanistan, the right wing propaganda machine kicked into high gear and ALL Bush/Cheney/Rove lies were repeatedly stated as Truth, and opposition demonized as traitors.
After that, came the Obama born in Kenya, OBAMA IS COMING FOR YOUR GUNS!, and the vow to make Obama a one termer, along with total obstruction and four or five hundred filibusters or threats of same.
.
So it’s not AS IF this just happened out of nowhere. All the Republican* Senators who voted to convict Clinton also voted to acquit Trump AND voted to suppress evidence.
.
The few Republicans* who are only NOW leaving the party have analysis skills that are only marginally better than Trump Disciples. And it only took an attempt to violently overthrow the government of the United States.
And they never saw it coming.
‘Good people on both sides’, ‘I take no responsibility for ANY of it!’, ‘We want them infected!’, ’They’re rigging the election.’
Carmen, You may be late to the fight but get in there and try to save your party of traditional conservatives. The last thing we need now is a one party system fighting off a minority of crazed elitist supremecists intent on suppressing the vote.
Here’s a recent one from the AZ crowd who have been in the desert sun too long.—————————
Question: Why Does the GOP want voting restrictions?
Some people have missed this unbelievable galling response in a Supreme Court case. Or they believe it is a myth and that the lawyer for the AZ RNC did not really say it in front of SCOTUS.
Don’t know if it was another stupid lawyer or they just believe they “can get away with it in broad daylight “.
So, why would would the Republicans have an interest in a voting restriction? (Can’t say they were not honest this time.)
The FBI on Thursday arrested Federico Klein, a former State Department aide, on charges related to the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6, marking the first known instance of an appointee of President Donald Trump facing criminal prosecution in connection with the attempt to block Congress from certifying President Joe Biden’s victory.
Klein, 42, was taken into custody in Virginia, said Samantha Shero, a spokesperson for the FBI’s Washington Field Office.
An FBI lookout bulletin issued two weeks after the Capitol assault included a photo of Klein, prompting two tipsters to contact the FBI and finger him as the man in that picture, according to an affidavit filed in federal court in Washington.
The affidavit says video from police body-worn cameras on Jan. 6 shows Klein jamming a riot shield into doors at the Capitol as police were trying to secure them to keep the mob out. Klein was also heard on video trying to encourage others to clash with the police, the complaint says.
✁
Klein is charged with several felonies, including assault on police officers, interfering with police during civil disorder and obstruction of an official proceeding, as well as lesser offenses.
During a brief first court appearance Friday afternoon, Klein complained about the conditions where he was held overnight at the central cell block at Metropolitan Police Headquarters in Washington.
✁
On Trump’s 2016 campaign, Klein — also known as Freddie — worked as a “tech analyst,” according to Federal Election Commission records. He earned $15,000 there, according to a financial disclosure he filed when he joined the State Department. He was paid an additional $5,000 by the campaign in 2017, the FEC filings show.

None of that gave any Republicans* pause.

Who’re they gonna call? Romney? JEB!? Kasich? Pence? Hawley? Naturalized citizen Cruz?
Laughable. Pathetic.
