Republicans - the party of racists

We have focused on DT as the racist candidate but as soon as his appointees are approved, it is the entire Republican party that should be tagged as a racist party. They want to throw out all principles so they must be defined as such.

Democrats should call a press conference for every ethically challenged appointee that is approved by the republicans to explain why they voted against them. This is the time to define what democrats stand for and make sure the country knows it.

For too long the Democrats have let the actions of the republicans speak for themselves but it needs to be put on the table and discussed openly. Principles must be averred.
