Why you’d have to go all the way back to last week to find the last time that happened.

From many of the posts lately, I’m actually starting to think DUers believe it’s okay if you’re a democrat.

Republicans: "See?! This is clearly racist. Ralph Northam should resign."

Democrats: "I mean, yeah, we totally agree. He should resign."

Republicans: "You're such hypo--oh... uh, well, okay."

Democrats: "So, what about Trump?"

Republicans: .............................

This behavior from the past, for some reason gets a pass.

Mitch McConnells' deplorable supporters are MORE likely to support him BECAUSE he's openly racist.

You couldn’t find a channel not talking about it that way— no matter what news channel you were on, they were saying “my gosh, he hasn’t resigned YET??” and “how much longer is he going to try to hang on?” And “McConnell is being selfish; for the good of his party he needs to QUIT”

Over and over, they played that McConnell comments and narrated on how terrible his comments were. .”the pressure will just keep billing; he’s going to HAVE to resign.”

That’s how it happens when republicans do it, right?
