Mitt Rmoney hasn't said he's voting for Kamala Harris. Therefore, he is an accessory to these actions.

Susan Collins hasn't said she's voting for Kamala Harris. Therefore, she is an accessory to these actions.

Lisa Murkowski hasn't said she's voting for Kamala Harris. Therefore, she is an accessory to these actions.

Every single republican, every single American who is not voting for Kamala Harris is an accessory to what we all know will be murder before they are done.

Accessory to criminal terrorism, to be more specific. Incitement to violence is a crime and causing fear is the definition terrorism.

I am for prosecutions, and if Joe Biden had not made the mistake of appointing a cadaver as attorney general, they might have happened. Then again, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton didn't understand that their opponents were terrorists, either.

Incitement to violence is not protected free speech. Consequences depend on law enforcement. Good luck with that in some places.

Those individuals have ZERO involvement in these actions. Thanks for the reminder of how some people who claim to support the rule of law have no idea how it works.

True, no one who votes for a republican has any concept of a plan about the rule of law.

Could you clarify your comment, please? Which individuals are you referring to and what actions do they have no involvement in?

See Michael Green's comment up-thread. He says that Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski are accessories to "these actions" because they haven't said they're voting for Harris. Referent for "these actions" is unclear but I'm guessing it's the crap that Trump, Vance, and their anonymous supporters have been pulling in Springfield, OH. Whatever, it's a non sequitur. (Latin term for "it doesn't follow.") Mr. Green's grasp of the law might land him an AG appointment in an alternate-universe Trump administration.

Sorry, Michael is right. They know what is happening, they choose to remain silent so the rest of the party isn't mean to them. They're fucking cowards and their actions over the past 9 years are why we have what we have. Rmoney, Murkowski and Collins - all worthless scum and by their silence they condone what is happening.

Don’t forget Georgie Bush who has said he won’t comment even though his VP Chaney did. First time Georgie didn’t listen to his VP.

I was wondering about Dubya, who remains an unindicted war criminal. who needs him? it's not like anybody under thirty remembers him. and I'm not so crazy about about finding Dick Cheney on my team.

Romney's always been my idea of an empty suit. it's nice he's got all this "religious faith" but Mormonism has always struck me as religious kitsch; a way to justify Joseph Smith's egomania and general horniness.

Sorry, no, Michael is wrong and so are you. This is straight out of the McCarthy playbook: if you don't condemn whoever he's condemning, you're a fellow traveler if not an outright communist. Some people -- especially white middle-class-and-up straight people -- have finally figured out that the country is in trouble because all of a sudden they realize that *they* are threatened too. Look up Pastor Niemöller's famous quote (it begins with "First they came for the trade unionists") and see if it doesn't apply.

It will take nothing less than all hands on deck, and that means anyone not on the chump crazy train. No spectators. No bystanders.
