How long before Republican politicians come out in favor of asbestos? Or have they already? Maybe I'm confusing their support of asbestos with their support of lead pipes.
@rbreich it's pretty sad that this is where we're at. I know many non politician Republicans who are some of the kindest, gentlest people, and have existential concerns that the Democratic party just doesn't speak to.
But to more directly, sadly, and pithily answer your question: I bet it's both. The crazier Republicans seem to get high on human suffering.
