    It’s one thing that these chucklefucks show up. Knuckle-draging jerks like this are always going be lurking somewhere, but what people in charge do about it is far more important, IMO. The lack of response from GOP leadership is the part that really gets me riled up; by saying and doing nothing they’re saying everything very loudly.

    Meanwhile, we’ve had things like this where the (Texas GOP) party leadership was split on a vote to not associate with these assholes:

    What I dislike about this is that what was on the table were “holocaust deniers” and “Nazis.” So even with the most minimal definition of “people problematic to our brand” they couldn’t kick them out.
