“Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) said Democrats are ‘insidious forces which threaten our republic’ with ‘betrayal.’ This ‘threat from within,’ he said, did ‘conspire to overthrow President Trump.’
“Republicans on the floor applauded.”
—Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank, Dec. 17, 2019.
Well, it is something of a breakthrough for Clay Higgins: anytime he can string that many words together in a cognitive, coherent sentence without hurting himself, he should be applauded.

The best thing about Higgins’ remarks on the floor of the House was that they were brief.
Yep.
I love how republicans project. He accuses Democrats of doing exactly what repubs are doing: threatening the republic from within. I wonder if Higgins is on Putin’s payroll like so many others in Congress appear to be.
