Interesting read in The Guardian about the silence of former presidents

[calimary]

23. That really rubbed me the wrong way, too.

NOBODY stepped up to defend Rep. Green. trump & comp piled on him for daring to speak truth to power that night, and a group of them actually JOINED the Republican attack dogs. I’ll never respect OR TRUST Marcy Kaptur again. I would never have expected her to side with the enemy when the enemy is out there in public doing war dances and advocating attacks on YOUR camp! Same thing with Jim Himes. SHAME on him, too! Shit - when your side is being unreasonably attacked (by people who hate you and wish you ill anyway) you join with the attackers instead of defending your own?

Approximately 10 House Democrats voted with several Republicans for Green's reprimand. Those who voted in favor included:
Ed Case of Hawaii
Tom Suozzi of New York
Jim Costa of California
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington
Jared Moskowitz of Florida
Ami Bera of California
Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania
Marcy Kaptur of Ohio
Laura Gillen of New York
Jim Himes of Connecticut

Shit. When a rabid pack of diseased dogs comes for you, you JOIN IN with them? Seems like a case of “whose side are you on?” Hell, I’d be building barricades with 8-inch spikes all over the front and on top!
