Bill Kristol‏ Tweet--memo from Former GOP Sen.: The normalization of abnormal accelerates apace."

I so fear this. Yet it IS happening day by day.


Bill Kristol?Verified account @BillKristol

A former Republican senator authorized me to share this from an email he sent:
"Shocking that no one was indignant enough to walk out of the meeting....The members of the majority party...pretend not to notice the rising stench. The normalization of abnormal accelerates apace."

Replying to @BillKristol

Nice, but unfortunate he won't let you share his name. He needs to do that.

In our current political environment can you blame a retired senator for wanting to stay anonymous? He’d probably receive death threats.

But that's the point. No one is comfortable speaking out, and that's how this despicable behavior gets normalized.

You have a good point. But this is the country of free speech. Who would have ever thought we would become afraid? We are past being free already- very dangerous. The first step to doom. Turning into a dictatorship. We have to fight hard NOW- not a second later Rise up speak out

Methinks you would have also filled your nostrils with the stench were you a current senator and in the room.
