text: It's pretty revolting (but not surprising) that Republicans are not as outraged as every other American of good conscience is by clear meddling in our elections by an adversary (leave it to the GOP to put party above country). As far as the "As you know, we're under siege" line ...We are under siege. Our election was compromised and we now have a president who believes it is ok to undermine and mock democratic (small "d") principles when he doesn't get his way. Leave it to Trump to make it all about him and not, hmm, the very fabric of our democratic ideals (free press, judicial independence, etc, etc). Also, those who claim to be "socially conservative," but elected a Class-A pervert - not to mention a misogynist, a racist (check out his history) - to the highest office in the land means they are hypocrites of the highest order. They don't get to call themselves "social conservatives" anymore. Not with a straight face, anyway. And then there's the normalization of the alt-right, etc
