Louisiana Congressman Clay Higgins posted a horrendously racist message online, which has caused a stir on both sides of the aisle. I react to Higgins' post, the response from prominent Republicans, and what it reveals about MAGA's ideals.

I would like to hear that prayer, I bet it was a doozie. Oh wait, it didn't happen and how do I know this because everything that comes out of Trumps mouth is a lie which then translates to all those around him. The republicans are selfless liars and full of shit.
Clay Higgins has a well documented public history of racist violence.
It's far easier to run for public office than qualify to be a licensed plumber. Or any licensed professional. All you need to run for office is popularity. As Donald would attest, a TV show helps.
The standards of behavior for retaining a plumber's license or a real estate license or a hairdresser's license is far higher than an elected public official. One valid complaint of fraud or violence from a customer, or a violation of law, and you get a hearing before an Administrative judge. License revoked.
Congressman? Senator? Governor? President? You can be a crook and run for office. You can be a convicted felon for fraud and sexual misconduct and run for office. You can incite a deadly riot and attempt to steal the Executive Branch of the federal government and run for office.
Clay and Donald wouldn't qualify for a barber's license. In any state in the nation. Think about that for a minute.
