GOP pulled this shit before, with Cleland, McCain, Murtha, Kerry..etc. You didn't see the media cover it as they are now...You didn't see anyone on the other side of the aisle demand an immediate apology, and call this behavior out of bounds.

Wanna know what's different this time? She is a woman, as well as a disabled veteran, and OUTSTANDING AMERICAN. The GOP will do as they always do, they'll double down. You won't hear a peep.

But maybe, this is like a splash of cold water. You know shit like this stacks up...we may be near the tipping stage.
