One week ago tonight, a Republican Congressman delivered the keynote address at a white supremacist rally. And one week later, not one Republican has criticized him. Nor called him out. Nor condemned him. Not one Republican. Not one.
Today’s Republican Party.
Rachel Maddow spent some time on her show tonight talking about this speech, so here it is.

CNN: Federico Klein, a former State Department aide who had also worked for the Trump campaign in 2016, has been criminally charged for pushing police and entering the Capitol during the January 6 insurrection, according to an arrest document.
The left didn't "cancel" Mr. Potato Head or Dr. Seuss.
The right DID cancel the initial release of The Hunt, Colin Kaepernick, the Dixie Chicks...
Projection is a hell of a thing.
Sen. Michael Bennet: "I wish Ron Johnson would use his time to explain to Trump voters that the election wasn't stolen ... That'd be a good use of 10 hours of Ron Johnson's time. But instead we're in a locked-down Capitol and he's forcing the staff ... read a bill." @MSNBC
