The other day, Representative Sporkfoot, aka Marge Taylor Greene, went as far to say that the "major civil rights issue" of the day is the fact that the insurrectionists are in jail and are being charged for, y'know, committing insurrection.

Fast forward to the GOP holding a discussion to disapprove a couple of laws passed by the D.C. Council because they were supposedly soft on crime. Representative Jamie Raskin took the opportunity to point out that the laws that the GOP want to nix are actually tougher than those in many GOP states.

But Raskin wasn't done there. He went on to point out how the Washingtonians were doing everything by the book to be granted their statehood, how they pay their taxes and enlist in the military and even worked as police officers defending the Capitol when the insurrectionists attacked. Then Raskin lowered the boom on the GOP:

Rasken went on to say that Republicans controlling the House want to "turn the clock back on D.C.'s home rule power and relive the glory days when Washington was run like a colony by some racist Dixiecrats out of the House district committee."

"Today, it's the GOP that is determined to put the people of Washington in their place," Raskin said, adding that Republicans will be "attacking Washington not just for its local voting rights policies and criminal justice code, but for its gun safety policies, for its defensive abortion rights and LGBTQ rights, its decriminalization of marijuana, and dozens of other issues potentially headed to the House floor."

The sad part is that the GOP will turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to anything Raskin or any other intelligent being has to say. Like a hound chasing a rabbit, Republicans chase after any chance to be cruel or flex some power - regardless of how petty - that's all they will pay attention to.
