What’s that sound? Don’t you hear it? You don’t? Lean further right and listen harder.
It’s the sound of crickets – the awkward chirping of the GOP with its members’ heads locked tightly between their legs.
Never mind that their president has branded himself as a racist with his base pronouncement that four Democratic freshmen congresswomen of color should “go back” to the countries they came from. And never mind that the congresswomen’s destinations, should they comply, would be New York, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Michigan.
And never mind that every moment of GOP silence to the president’s sad and destructive comments also further tars the GOP. But, clearly, the Republicans lack the will to stand up to Donald Trump’s vileness.
Not a peep have we heard – nor will we – from Tennessee Republican Sens. Lamar Alexander or Marsha Blackburn.
