make up 95% of this fucking moron's administration. They are racist misogynists through and through...and that is who elected them in the first place (and yes, women can be misogynists too). Our country is deeply prejudiced and anyone who doesn't see that is blind and deaf. That is how we are perceived by Europeans. They see us more clearly than we see our selves let alone acknowledge who we are. We love guns and religion and all of it is incorporated into our politics. This may as well be 1955. One step forward two steps back. If Hillary had won she would have been dragged through the mud and obstructed as much as, if not more so, than Obama. I am embarrassed to be an American.

A hundred years from now, the epitaph for the USA will read in the history books just as you have written.

And reading some of the idiots responding to the tweet, it looks like every Democrat needs to back this vigorously.

I wish this happened from more than just the congressional black caucus.

Everybody in congress should demand that our officials not lie and tell the truth.

Kelly (who I used to have some respect for) should apologize and move on.

They've personally attacked McCain, Corker, McConnell, that Senator from Nevada, now Wilson, and others.

There will be no apology, but they are right to demand it.

Of course they are working with the assumption we still operate in a civil society. No longer the case, all we shall see is doubling down and more insults/attacks. 👎
