Hello ...first time posting!! Wondering WHY anyone is surprised the repugs are being repugnant?

[secularhumanizer]

It's not like they have ever been anything BUT repugnantKKKlaners. My entire life they have aimed their appeal at the very lowest common denominator of bigotry and hate to stir up their base. So why is anyone surprised they have been treating this nominee the way they are?

1. Good question.

Welcome to DU.

2. Not surprised so much as shocked. It's embarrassing to even watch. Very cringey.

5. Who is surprised?!

Cruz, Hawley, Graham et al. behaved exactly as they have for these recent years. Why would anyone expect something different?

They are un-American, traitorous bastards who should be prosecuted for their actions on January 6, 2021.

By the way, welcome and keep posting!

9. welcome, but understand, we aren't surprised...the uninformed might be surprised.

Those of us here have known how vile & toxic they are for years, if not decades.

Rest assured, we know!

And I'll repeat, welcome to our family.

I would henceforth identify them as the Repulsives….(but Repugnants was also in the running).
