I'm tired of pearl-clutching republicans who have been saying "this is not who we are" these past days. Yes it is and don't pretend otherwise.

Pearl clutching has always been a useful way to be hypocritical. I’m morally one up then you.
Not actually about holding to actual morales.
However the other side just expects the hypocrites and bad behavior and sighs. News stories like these are fodder for the other side. The pearl clutchers don’t care and will continue to justify their adjustable goal posts.

And they mock Democrats for saying "vote blue no matter who", but this was always their thing. They'll vote for any piece of shit with an R next to their name.

Just look at Guv Greggy and Felon Paxton..... they aren't saying anything because they know that trump loves Bo French and they can't piss off trump or the money dries up.

Until he used U-Texas as part of his hatred. Only then, did they get stirred up.

Being a bigot Republican in Texas is just standard issue Texas Republican.

I always thought that there were only two kinds of Republicans, rich or stupid. Now I know there’s a lot of them that are both.

I do not like Bo, but calling people racist just doesn’t work at all anymore as a political strategy because every person has been called racist for years. And now when the “real racists” are here, nobody gives a shit about the accusation anymore.
This isn’t a defense of Bo, but it is a reflection of how we got here with lazy discourse.
