From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_N._Welch
"Joseph Nye Welch (October 22, 1890 October 6, 1960) was the chief counsel for the United States Army while it was under investigation for Communist activities by Senator Joseph McCarthy's Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, an investigation known as the ArmyMcCarthy hearings. His confrontation with McCarthy during the hearings, in which he famously asked McCarthy "At long last, have you left no sense of decency?" is seen as a turning point in the history of McCarthyism"
This iconic question by Joseph Welch continues to reverberate and last night (on 11-7-17), the sense of decency won out in major elections across the United States!
So while our incompetent, uncaring president preens on his Asia trip, a majority of Americans have again shown their true heart in contest after contest -- Bravo!
And I certainly praise Tom Perez with his approach to running everywhere. "If you have a zip code, Democrats should be running in your area," he has stated.
