Republicans are the party of Assault-Danny Deutsch Calls Them Out

On last night’s program Danny Deutsch discussed the ugly truth that Republicans vigorously promote assault. All of their policies support assault on our safety, assault on our healthcare, assault on our environment, assault in our elections, assault in our education, assault on our wages, assault on families and children. Everything they support is an assault.

They are the party of death and destruction. If we don’t stand up against them, we are with them.

3. That's What Deutsch Suggested

He also suggested Democrats use the fact that we are the party of protection, with a little focused and self-righteous anger thrown in for good measure. Republicans have intentionally and seriously jeopardized our safety for political gain. For many Americans, safety is currently the #1 issue. Tax cuts are meaningless if a loved one is slaughtered in a mass shooting.

7. They also totally support racial and sexual assault and are trying to get them legitimized.

They do this by allowed rapist custody of the baby and giving them the right to go to the victims' house, constantly re-victimizing the women. They do this by not holding straight white (especially rich) males accountable for rape and letting them go free. They also do this with language, "infestation, invasion, rapists (only ok when done by white guys, not brown or black), criminals, drug dealers, nasty, shithole", etc. It's done when the president says KKK & Nazis are some fine people and when he's happy babies are crying and sick because maybe it will deter some adult. I'm sure there's lots of other examples but these immediately came to mind.
