This is why cheering on the yahoos that followed and harassed Kyrsten Sinema into the toilet was such a bad idea. It set a bad precedent and helps to normalize this kind of incivility and outright boorishness. Sadly, I fear shit like this will increasingly become a part of whatever it is that still passes for political discourse in this nation. It's so un-American.

Stalking, physical intimidation and office-storming should have NO part in American political discourse. These assholes need to be fired immediately.
