Stephan: We have in the Congressional MAGAt Republicans, a level of cowardice never before seen in American history. Seriously, never. I went back to the obvious, the Civil War and, then, to the Revolution and there is no precedent for the silence of this cult no matter what its members do or say. You can make a video about murdering a fellow member, and evoke no rejection; you can sell a military weapon as a fund raiser, and who cares? You can talk about violence and killing people... ho hum. These are people who value only one thing, staying in power. They have no ethics, no integrity. I do not understand why this is not more generally recognized and condemned. It is a litmus test for membership in the cult.
Rep. Ilhan Omar on Saturday condemned her GOP colleagues’ inaction following the recent publication by Rep. Lauren Boebert of an anti-Muslim video in which the Colorado Republican lies about the Somali-American lawmaker being mistaken for a suspected suicide bomber inside the U.S. Capitol.
“These anti-Muslim attacks aren’t about my ideas but about my identity and it’s clear,” Omar (D-Minn.) tweeted.
Addressing House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), she added that “your silence speaks volumes.”
