John McGuire is either a coward or a monster
"A whole civilization will die tonight."
Earlier today, Donald Trump posted the most monstrous thing a U.S. president has ever said in public:
A few Republicans have put out tepid responses criticizing this horrific threat. Most, including VA-05’s John McGuire, have said nothing. (The person answering the phone at his D.C. office simply told me they hadn’t spoken to him about what his president just called “one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World.”)
This is McGuire’s most recent utterance:
If you’re in Congress and you’re not doing something about this—pushing to invoke the 25th Amendment, or signing on to another War Powers bill, or at least saying something—there are only two options:
You’re okay with America threatening to wipe out a whole civilization.
You’re not okay with America threatening to wipe out a whole civilization, but you’re afraid to say anything about it.
In the first case, you’re a monster. In the second, you’re a coward. Which is it, Congressman? Are you wicked, or just fearful?

Kaine: 202-224-4024 Yesterday he called for getting Congress back in session “deliberate on how we can fulfill the responsibilities we were entrusted with and preserve our democracy against the tyranny our Founders foresaw.” I say fuck deliberating, but at least this beats silence.
