A Republican showing compassion? Is that allowed?
There’s always a “Republicans shocked to discovery what they vocally campaigned on would come to pass” headline in-between election cycles.
This Republican was a voice against it, however.
There is a minority of Republicans that have actual republican values and are being drowned out, similarly to the socialists within the democratic party.
Its rare to see one, they have to hide now, leaving the typical “Republican” as a far right soulless thing. But this might be an instance of it.
Actual Republican values are still deplorable. They are just more polite than what we’ve seen in recent years. The magats have done a great job of helping everyone to forget that R was never a friend to queer folks, minorities, women, nor anyone not white enough and Christian enough for them.
It’s also important to note that state parties are different from the national party - as an example Vermont Republican Governor Scott is pro-choice and supportive of trans rights… a lot of state politicians aren’t there to grandstand and instead work to solve local problems. Now, that bullshit politicking has been making it’s way more often to the state level so that is changing but it’s usually good to read up on politicians at the state level.
Not in Washington State, our r’s are hot garbage.
Oh yeah - WA GOP is fucking insane - they’re basically just assholes that bought into the same bullshit that’s thoroughly infected Idaho.
Man, Idaho is fucking scary.
I’ll see both your WA and Idaho and raise you some NC GOP.
It’s really beautiful in some places too. But yeah, don’t live in Idaho.
That wasn’t particularly uncommon back in the 80s/90s when “Pro-Life” was more of a regional religion moniker than a partisan brand. We had Texas Republicans like Kay Bailey Hutchinson who were Pro-Choice and Delaware Democrats like Joseph Robinette Biden who were Pro-Life. Same with Log Cabin Republicans and DOMA-voting Democrats, straight through the Bush Jr administration.
Scott’s a classic “fiscally conservative, socially liberal” Republican that used to be all over the New England area a generation ago. He loves tax cuts for his buddies in business and private charity schemes that let philanthropists hog the limelight without obligating them to spend more than they feel like and small-government rhetoric that plays well with liberal libertarians. He’ll sign bills that loosely mandate the purchase of private insurance and cap property taxes that fund local schools, but shies away from a truly public health care or higher education system.
They’ve got different masters than their national counterparts. But you’ll find just as many deplorables at the state level.
Definitely. Egregious lack of foresight they the police office didn’t write two tickets. One for her and one for the child she was carrying. Life begins at conception so that fetus is as guilty as she is.
Lock it up! Lock it up!
A Republican talking about compassion while actually showing none is allowed, and actually encouraged.
Next week they’ll be calling him a RINO just wait.
It’s enough for me to call him a RINO right now…
Didn’t read, Out of context comment, but he probably called the woman deplorable. 😂
It’s only because she wasn’t having a miscarriage
