29. It's so distressing. So disgusting.

Every time one of these Republicans spews his/her bullshit, it gets worse and worse. When Trump was elected, I wouldn’t have thought that Republicans would engage in such a full-throated defense of him. Hearing Republican representative after Republican representative rise and lie to defend the worst, crookedest president in modern history is so demoralizing. They are so corrupt. It’s terrible to see, even when expected.
