black republican in the u.s. house of representatives, will hurd announced he is retiring. that leaves senator tim scott in the republican party. they also have 13 women, i believe at least one of whom is retiring from the house of representatives. are we at the point in our political system where one party on represents people of color and the other party doesn t? and is that a dangerous situation for us? look, these how republicans have enabled donald trump. he lhas day after day made racit remarks, remarks against women, fought against immigrants, fought against people who worship differently. the republican leadership in washington, republican leadership around this country has largely been silent. they have enabled him to continue in that direction.
