John Dean: From cunning crooks to war crimes criminals to corrupt authoritarians. It is all downhill

Link to tweet

John Dean ✔ @JohnWDean

Modern GOP has given us Nixon, Agnew, Bush II, Cheney, and now Trump and Pence. Plus the Religious Right, Tea Party, Freedom Caucus and the NRA’s every wishes. From cunning crooks to war crimes criminals to corrupt authoritarians. It is all downhill, and getting worse fast.
