Donald Trump: The Gateway Degenerate -
Last week, when voters in Montana elected Greg Gianforte to fill the state’s lone seat in the House of Representatives, even after he
was recorded in a physical altercation with a reporter, many Americans — like me — were left to look on in astonished bewilderment.
When they allowed themselves to vote for a man who insulted Mexicans
and Muslims, who mocked a disabled reporter, who called for executing the Central Park Five and who had “a long history of racial bias at his family’s properties, in New York and beyond,” according to an extensive report by The Times, Republicans surrendered the mantle of morality.

And: “Did anyone get his lunch money stolen today and then run to tell the recess monitor?”
Assault is not a game.
