Congressman Don Bacon-NE was on Ali Velshi's show this morning.

They discussed the Gosar issue and Bacon actually said “it not the Dems’ place to punish a GOPer and it should be the party’s responsibility to police their own”!

I wished Velshi would have counter with a a response, like “your party couldn’t even police Trump”?

(as you've provided ample evidence the past 5 years) - how, and when, then do you propose 'policing your own?'
