will cost us dem votes. Unity was all well and good until they decided to foment an armed insurrection against our government. There are Repubs who still won’t denounce it. Cawthorn is saying the people who stormed the Capital were paid by Democrats. They don’t care about anything but power for powers sake. Making nice won’t change their behavior. It does make us class A chumps and nobody votes for a chump.
