““Civility has kind of disappeared,” she said. “Even in our party, and that’s sad.””

Lady, you realize your party did a fucking coup? Fuck off.

Best part... "Even in our party" That's the separation from reality...

I didn't think the leopards would eat my face!

Every. Time.

Division among the state’s Republican Party was evident earlier in the day, when Jaime Herrera Beutler spoke as a candidate for public lands commissioner, a position that runs Washington’s Department of Natural Resources. Members of the crowd booed the candidate. Some stood up and turned their backs on her.

A former representative for Washington’s 3rd Congressional District, Herrera Beutler notably voted to impeach President Donald Trump. It was a move that split GOP voters in her district. She lost the following primary in 2022, and in turn, her elected position in Congress.

The coupers bouped.
