    The Republican is Thomas Massie, as expected. It seems that he is one of a few Republicans who will act ethically as long as the topic is Epstein.

      He also defended Alex Pretti carrying a gun, saying it’s not a death sentence but a right.

        Would he have said that if Alex was a legal US Citizen carrying a gun legally but instead he was a brown man? Probably not, just because Massie argues against his own team he’s still a leopard with the same spots. GOP, always assume ulterior motives.

          There used to be some Republicans that I respected to some degree, even if I disagreed with their policies. John McCain, Ron Paul, and Mitt Romney are examples.

          Now the only hope I have for current Republican politicians is that some of them are secretly opposing Trump because of their own ambitions. I don’t think a good person could have kept quiet about Trump.
