@MattLaslo @AndyOgles What’s become of political discourse?

"Some would say the Christian nationalist movement, there's violence in there," I pressed. "What do you make of that?" "Show me where. Where?" @AndyOgles told me before tying recent domestic security incidents to terrorism, even though authorities have stopped short of such an assessment. "Four terrorist attacks in three weeks. They weren't Hindu. They weren't Buddhist." "It's so interesting to hear them say that when most of the mass shootings at schools are white males,” @RashidaTlaib tells me. "I watch these shootings constantly, and it's always a white male and I never hear them talking about banning white males.”

“I’m ready to get rid of the Muslims,” @SenTuberville tells me. “It’s time for them to go home.” "We've always had these people who really should be considered white nationalists and Christian fundamentalist nationalists," @Ilhan Omar tells me. "So it's not surprising that they want to ban a whole people because of their faith."

Kicker: The battle royale on C-SPAN seems to have also rendered Mullin mute. “Is Rand Paul a jack--?” I asked the nominee after the hearing. Mullin grinned, shrugged and said nothing. “You didn’t say ‘no,’” I pointed out. Mullin also didn’t stop grinning. Full piece here: msn.com/en-us/politics…

Struggle’s real.
