With safe Republicans who won't do anything to upset voters about what the propaganda they are drowned in everyday and the poo flinging whack job teabagger Freedom Caucus can vote this down and their whole party is exposed.

The few races that are in jeopardy could be turned by this exhibition of pure fear and ignorance

democracy and too little like authoritarianism, so that will not fly.

Disgusting.
