Way to stay original, Dana.
MILBANK: It is a bit ham-handed the way they go about doing this. You can sort of see what they might have been trying to do here. And one hopes that tomorrow they might send out a tweet ending poverty and the next day, they might send out a tweet ending all warfare. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. And I think what’s happening here is, people are not inclined to give this Republican Party the benefit of the doubt because of the record of statements and because of the record of policies. The most prominent of which right now is immigration which is being bottled up entirely because of the Republican leadership. […]
Look, you’ve got a Republican leadership in Washington, and then you’ve got the Tea Party, but, and that’s certainly where the latter is certainly where the racism is bubbling up right now. But you’ve got a Republican majority in power in the House that is refusing still to take on this Tea Party because they’re frightened of that. So the best you come up with now is these sort of ham-handed efforts to say, “See, we, too, care about inclusion and equality.”
