Asked GOP Rep. Austin Scott about how the GOP leadership crisis makes them look. “It makes us look like a bunch of idiots,” he told me

Long time readers know I’ve been predicting the Republican Party’s mad dash to the right for years. Extremists, regardless of ideology, share a few characteristics, among them arrogance, a belief that their opinions certainly can’t be wrong.
This failure to recognize the difficulties of discerning truth and understanding the lessons to be derived from events makes for a very short hop to … idiocy.
My congratulations to Rep Scott for his successful discernment of a truth that he may not be entirely proud of.
