to name a few: mcturtle, rand Paul, ron Johnson, lady G, tom cotton, Grassley, Blackburn, Ernst, etc.

And the "concerned" Collins, and it seems like little Marco is missing … . .

The don't care - "killing off their constituent regarding COVID-19" crowd . .

gonna say something? A big fat NO. Their focus is - defiling the US SC.

They’re in damage control mode. Trump refused to condemn White supremacy, and then he gave a shout out to the Proud Boys.

They have no response to that. Their once-semi-hidden racism has been exposed for the world to see.

What can they say?

Republicans are currently considering whether or not to “distance themselves” from Trump. Do they stick by him (and lose sane independents), or do they defy him (and lose the support of some of their racist base)? They’re in a tough spot. Their silence tells me that they’re not sure what to do, but this debate hurt them all, and they know it.

So long as they don’t have to answer questions about this dilemma, they feel safe, but that also means that they can’t campaign so long as they are ducking reporters and their supporters. They’re in serious trouble, and they know it.

If they don't address and denounce the stochastic terrorist's blatant dog whistle through a bullhorn we can then all assume that they fully endorse it, which then implies that a Presidential Dictator can call for insurrection in his own country.
