DEMAND THE REPUBLICANS BREAK THE SILENCE. JENNIFER WEXTON.

Demand that Republicans break their silence >> ADD YOUR NAME ➞ In a remarkable press conference on Thursday, Trump's acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, admitted that aid to Ukraine had been held up because Trump wanted Ukraine to launch a probe into his political opponents. As reported by The Washington Post: “We do that all the time with foreign policy,” [Mulvaney] said when it was pointed out that he appeared to be describing a quid pro quo. He added: "I have news for everybody: Get over it. There’s going to be political influence in foreign policy.” The Trump administration is so flagrant in their disrespect of the rule of law that they'll openly admit their wrongdoing. And they think they can get away with it because so far, their Republican allies on Capitol Hill have dodged questions and made excuses. That has to change. Some things are more important than party politics -- and when it comes to stopping foreign interference in our elections, we need to put country above party. So please add your name to demand that Republicans break their silence and condemn the blatant wrongdoing -- which this White House has now admitted to. ADD YOUR NAME ➞ Thank you, Team Wexton

 HOW DOES THIS SURPRISE ANYONE? TIME AFTER TIME, DONALD TRUMP HAS DISPLAYED A COMPLETE LACK OF INTEGRITY, LEADERSHIP ABILITY, OR INTELLECTUAL DISCIPLINE THAT WOULD BE LAUGHABLE, IF IT DIDN'T MEAN THAT HIS SOLE PURPOSE WHILE OCCUPYING THE WHITE HOUSE SEEMS TO BE TO DESTROY OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC, AND CREATE A FASCIST STATE THAT CATERS TO THE VERY FEW. (ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO PROMOTE HIS FOREIGN POLICY: CREATING A HOLY WAR OF "ARMAGEDDON.")
