During the 2016 campaign, whenever Trump made racist or xenophobic comments there was a small but reliable chorus of Republican office holders who spoke out. Today, there’s silence, nine hours later.

1. Interesting.

May be the beginning of the end for Trump.

[oddmanout.]

8. I wish

How often have I said that since he got into office...[link:https://t.co/d43tPIhV8v|

[delisen]

11. Yes my wishful thinking-but I see some cracks in the

red line --not yet enough.

2. Rep Amash isn't a goper anymore, is he?

To tell these American citizens (most of
whom were born here) to “go back” to
the “crime infested places from which they
came” is racist and disgusting.

I’ll go check on some gopee tweeters right now

3. Their silence is deafening.

and vile.

Yup

[Wellstone ruled]

4. All by design.

The Rethugs have a habit of going quite when they create policies that run counter to the fabric of our Nation.

5. Mark Meadows, Gym Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Steve King - all quiet...meanwhile, Sen Rand Paul, yesterday:

Amazing day with @realDonaldTrump! Together we will
shrink government, end wars and spend money at home not abroad!

Hey, how about “shrinking” the motherfuckin deficit, LOSERS

6. The silence from Congressional Republicans is speaking....VOLUMES...

That means they APPROVE of the Donald's deplorable behavior. None of them dares to speak out against him or they will get the same treatment.

Trump continues to stain the Office of The President. We here at DU, need to call out our elected Reps be they Republican for the cowards they are. Call them out for their complicity of the trashing of values they proclaim to have the monopoly on.

Let us see how they react.

13. Whatever it takes to stay in power.

18. Or to avoid being the target of a mean Trump tweet

Cowards!

7. Marco is focusing on issues with Cuba, but people are wondering,

”Oh hi, any comment on the president’s racist remarks?”

Cornyn, Sasse, Graham, McConnell, McCarthy: zip


“By now your intern should know better then to schedule tweets,
considering your unhinged endorsed president. You letting your
inner racist out now too Rob? You sure never speak out against it”

Link to tweet

“As a constituent from your district, I hope you
speak out against @realDonaldTrump racist tweets
against your fellow congresswomen today”

9. Will CNN put a timer on it like the one they had for HRC's response to the Weinstein story?

Somehow, I doubt it.

10. Trump has neutered the critics in his party. And I am afraid that he is neutering

honest people in the federal government's departments. Once he is gone, we will start to hear the horror stories that are taking place now, the corruption, thelf, lying, paranoia.

12. They all quit or died:

McCain
Corker
Flake

14. They are all fucking traitors and criminals

just like him

[Blue Owl]

15. Enablers

[Leghorn21]

16. Cruz, Cotton, Boozman, Murkowski, Collins

no not yet

[ooky]

17. They have unveiled themselves for everyone to see who and what they are.

And, it is shocking that there are so many among us in everyday life who support these pricks.

19. Today's Republican Party

isn't much more than an updated version of the Klan with red hats instead of white hoods. They're not likely to say anything bad about their Grand Wizard and risk losing his support and being called "very stupid."
