"Why would you fan the flames? That's all I'm going to say," sighed Lisa Murkowski when Politico's Burgess Everett her with a printout of the president's words.

"Why would you ask me to commit myself to something unambiguous? I think right now as we are, as we are all struggling to ... find ways to express the words that need to be expressed appropriately, questions about whether I think the orange pumpkin is or is not an idiot is, I think, distracting to the moment. Although it is conceivable that I perhaps we are getting to a point where we can be more honest with the concerns that we might hold internally and have the courage of our own convictions to speak up. But not yet."

I'm kind of old. My dad, who fought Fascists in the 40s, raised me to hate Nazis. I'm kind of wondering if I'm on a list somewhere.

The entire GOP has never heard of him...except the Nazis and white-supremacists. Whoops! That's all of them!
