When will old-time Democratic politicians learn?
No matter what you say or do when it comes to sparring with the craven Republicans in Congress, the White House or their propagandists on television, they will always attack and malign you.
Truth and credibility doesn't matter in their world view. Only Put downs, rank outs, lies and conspiracy theories are what motivates them and their base.

"When someone looks at a neo-Nazi rally and sees some ‘very fine people’ among its company, we must call it out.
Trump criticism.
"When someone suggests money drives support for Israel, we must call it out.”
