chanter1944Written earlier today, about Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-Arizona)'s assertion that Democrats are tearing families apart with impeachment proceedings:
I can appreciate a vehement characterization of events and their fallout, but considering this administration's policy of actual, literal family separation and its results - someone can play the footage again, sound up, if you need a reminder of the screams - do you *really* think that's the wisest choice of words you could have made here? If the answer is yes, we've got bigger problems than a tone deaf clanger of an illustration.
I wouldn't bet money on the answer not being yes, at that.
