Ohio Rep.Michael Rulli appeared on Maria Bartiromo’s Fox Business News show to say he is appalled at Democrats’ rhetoric, which needs to be “toned down.” The Ohio Republican must never have seen Trump’s tweets or Truth Social posts before. He should check in on that! Or when Donald said in Iowa in July that he “hates” Democrats, saying, “I cannot stand them.” Or how about Jan. 6th, when Trump incited a mob of his supporters to attack the US Capitol to cling to power.

Rulli discussed the Charlie Kirk shooting, the only school shooting Republicans have cared about. The Turning Point co-founder seems even more powerful to Republicans after his death, as they use it to silence the opposition. His widow started fundraising days after his death, despite Charlie’s $12 million net worth.

    It’s sad that I want W back. It would still be a massive upgrade, though

      When I see old GWB footage I see a US president, trying to do what he believes is best for the nation, I disagree with him on plenty of stuff, but I don’t question his commitment.

      When I see current Trump footage, I don’t see a president, I see either toddler throwing his toys (the US, the US citizens, and the federal government) at the wall and stomping on them, or a stupid spiteful man who is trying desperately to destroy any kind of liberty outside of the weird US conservative sphere.

        Can we not whitewash the atrocities that WBush put on this nation? Is Trump worse? yes. But Bush paved the way for the shit that he’s doing.

        He lied is into multiple 2-decades long wars that cost us trillions of dollars could have helped everyone in the US have a better life, 10s of thousands of lives lost. He vastly expanded the domestic surveillance apparatus that is plaguing us now. He ushered in the worst economic collapse in a century, them used that crisis to funnel more money to the rich who caused it.

          Oh, I absolutely agree with you, GWB was not a good man, but he knew how to act presidential, you didn’t have to be completely embarrassed when you saw him on TV.
