First Read: Well state it plainly: Just 10 months removed from Jan. 6, there is no collective political decency on Capitol Hill. Especially when one political party cant or wont police violent images by its own members.
Sure, vigorously debate the size of government, the state of the economy, abortion, foreign policy and taxes. But when one party tolerates a member posting violent images against the political opposition, or engages in whataboutism as a defense, or is upset the political opposition is taking action when it refused to do so civility is gone.
Just look at McCarthys own evolution: Hes gone from condemning misbehavior by his own members (Steve King) and speaking out about Donald Trumps actions on Jan. 6 (saying the former president bears responsibility for the attack), to ignoring certain actions (Marjorie Taylor Greene) and now rationalizing them (Gosar).
And the next logical step becomes actively condoning the misbehavior.
