Ana Navarro is ripping the half-senile racist Jan Brewer a new one on Don Lemon.

Navarro might be a Republican but I give her credit. She is pissed as hell and calling out her own party.

These guys are afraid to speak out against the Klan and the Nazis. Or there wasn't this silence from them. Or the cool demeanor from McConnell's wife standing behind Trump while he said, pretty much, that he is part of the Nazi party when he said that the 'lefties were attacking "us"'!
