The larger issue for Sasse and for other Republicans who have from time to time taken issue with the president is their abject refusal to translate rhetoric into action. In legislation, in oversight and in the confirmation process, they routinely shrink from confrontation with the White House or their own leadership. Republicans do, after all, have the majorities in both houses and long ago could have voted to end child separation. They could, at any time, cease confirming judges or even refuse to go forward on any business until the wicked policy is ended.
Sasse, a former university president who holds a PhD in history from Yale, surely is familiar with the admonition, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil [or wicked, in his telling] is for good men to do nothing.” Speaking, posting and tweeting don’t count as “doing.” Unless Sasse starts doing, he is enabling.
29 years and nine months ago I registered to vote and became a member of The Republican Party which was founded in 1854 to oppose slavery and stand for the dignity of human life. Today I renounce my membership in the Republican Party. It is fully the party of Trump.
I appreciate Steve Schmidt fighting the good fight, but could he not with this:
If you joined 29 years ago, that's not the party you joined.
#1. Fox News
Truth: We've only seen photos that Trump's administration has released.
holy crap...that Lee atwater interview! Never heard that before, but yes, that is the the republican party in a nutshell post civil rights era. Party of Lincoln my ass. Its the party of racists who only care about white people. Its been that way for years and Trump has only blown the roof off the the racist foundation.
