US senator criticises Republicans’ silence on Trump’s violent threats against Democrats. Senator Mark Kelly yesterday urged congressional Republicans to publicly reject Trump’s threats against him and five other Democratic lawmakers who have said that military personnel are not obliged to follow illegal commands. “We’ve heard very little, basically crickets, from Republicans in the United States Congress about what the president has said about hanging members of Congress,” Kelly, of Arizona, said on CBS’s Face the Nation.

CRICKETS, the sound of silence usually emanates from cowards who would rather hide in the shadows, cowering in dark corners, hoping to be unseen and unnoticed. The Republican Senators, supposedly the august body of the Congress, are nothing but a bunch of spineless men and women who fear Trump, who most likely loathe Trump, but who are so personally selfish as to whimper and whine privately rather than demonstrate an ounce of courage.
One must wonder, and I am one of those, are the Republicans just cowards, so insecure and unsure as to permit the authoritarian Trump to ravage the Constitution and Democracy, OR, perhaps are these Republicans just eager to end the freedoms and choices that our Constitution and Democracy provide, as does Trump, so they too can remain in permanent power!
