How come there isn't much outrage when Republicans attack people living in blue states?

Cruz mentioned something about "New York values" yesterday implying that New Yorkers are somehow bad.

Just imagine if Hillary, Bernie or Obama mentioned something about "Alabama values" or "Utah values" dissed people in red states.

The amount of outrage coming from Republicans and the media would be tremendous.

Why do Republicans seem to get a pass when they attack people in blue states?

Why the double standard?

why do you think Snyder isn't in jail? Or why no one from the Oregon Militia has been arrested yet?

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Anything is okay for them. It's the rest of us who are expected to live by their dictates, but not them.



Time for change!

they get back. And he possibly hates them for being one of the biggest economic engines in the country. And he probably hates skyscrapers.
