Republican Insanity, Absolute Insanity

The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) gathering in Texas put on public display how Republican lies and conspiracy theories are a growing threat to democracy and the nation.

Texas is once again the center of the Republican fire tornado as GOP conservatives cheer Trump’s lies and conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, low vaccination rates in Republican states, and denials that the January 6 insurrection was an attack on democracy. Also in the news, Governor Greg Abbott vows to arrest Democrat lawmakers who are protesting in D.C. to stop Texas Republicans from passing voting restrictions targeting people of color. Michael Fanone, a D.C. Police Officer brutally attacked on January 6, called out Republicans with “it’s just insanity, absolute insanity.”
