was a disgrace to our country. reaction to his testimony has been swift and largely broken down along partisan lines. republicans are offering nearly universal condemnation in line with the president. but many democrats are coming to his defense. blaming the gop colleagues for the circus -like atmosphere that prevailed at the hearing. character assassination, demagoguery, connecting dots that are not meant to be connected. generalizing an isolated incident, cherry picking facts. sometimes fabricating facts, which is the new low in the united states congress. what a shame. going forward republicans are now worried about what impact the hearings will have on the ongoing robert mueller investigation. here is congressman ratcliff later today on sunday morning features. they cannot walk to a courtroom with peter strzok as a star witness within 10 minutes of seeing the texts,
