Brooks is another Republican conservative who refuses to come to grips with the fact that it is his party, his philosophy, his efforts that led to the Trump Administration.

They've traded on exploiting, greed, bigotry, and misogyny to gain votes for decades. They've been pushing for this kind of fascism since the 60s.

Now they are frantically peeing on their own boots trying to wash off the smell of the shit they have been wading in.

The shit hits the fan and they act all innocent and shocked. I am so sick of them.
