Now it's very scary. That's how we ended up with Tommy Tooberville, MTG, Lauren Bobert, Louie Gohmert, Kevin McCarthy.................

There used to be minimal standards for that kind of job.

Not any more.

It’s easy (and quite tempting) to laugh it off, but it’s entirely plausible that she could ride back into office on the wave of anti-intellectualism she helped resurrect in this country.
