Pete Buttigieg: 'GOP's behavior is an embarrassment'

I used work in a SCIF, as a military officer. The importance of keeping it secure (i.e. from cell phone signals) was drilled into us so deeply that I’d have bad dreams about accidentally leaving my phone in the pocket of my uniform. This behavior is an embarrassment.




Today's republican party, our national embarrassment. Soon to be little more than an insignificant minority party.

He could easily be using much stronger language than "embarrassment."

Still, it's a pretty good rebuke. His military experience lends real strength to his comments.

They are like ants, willing to die on a hill for their lord and master.

It's truly bizarre. They discard rule of law, the Constitution and everything that makes America America in order to please and protect their god.

How did this mindset ever enter into their heads.
