GOP disgraces nation

Spineless Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell abandons the moral argument against Roy Moore and now hides behind: “Let Alabama decide.” Where is the Republican outrage across the nation and inside the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House?

Not only has the party sold its collective soul to President Donald Trump, millions of individual Republicans are silently complicit in the destruction of our democracy and the corruption of our integrity. What have we become as Americans?

Trump announced he is above the law and can do no wrong. What happened to our Constitution — so sacred to conservative Republicans when shouting about liberal overreach? Where are those opposing placing party above principle? Complacent Republicans excuse themselves as they passively participate and look the other way. When will “good Republicans” dare protest in the streets?
