    Unity and respect do not require watered-down policy positions and weakness. They require respect for views that are different, and understanding that the people that disagree do not want to destroy the country. Maybe they just have a different view of the world. #civilityhttps://twitter.com/senatorlankford/status/1011071236233990145 …

    If the national pendulum is ever going to swing, it will require role models in every community who don’t just call out for respectful opposition, but practice it. #civility https://twitter.com/senatorlankford/status/1011066852796260352 …

        I can be civil and respectful debating alternative VIEWS. but I will be a rabid animal when it's time to ACT on a policy of physically keeping parents and children separated. That's not a political stance. That's an indictment of humanity.

        When Rs vote in a normal, civilized person as president, as they have many times in the past, I will have no trouble being civil. Please don’t expect civility, however, if the majority in Congress refuses to check the brute who holds the office at the moment.

        We are no longer taking about differences in opinions, policies, or party lines. We are living a humanitarian crisis created by Trump. It’s a matter of morality and human decency as core human values. “Silence in the face of evil is evil itself. God will not hold you guiltless”

        I would honestly love it if you turned out to be a good guy. The type of guy who works with Dems (you have, some). But you can’t be a good guy & stand behind Trump. You can’t be good & smear the FBI to benefit Trump. You can’t be good & accept NRA $.

        Does the president has any respect for the views and rights of others than don’t agree with him? He calls black athletes SOBs, dehumanizes immigrants and compares them to vermin, speaks disparaging about women,other minorities, and LGBT. Not a “different view” he lacks humanity

        Weakness huh? Weakness is showing a total lack of human compassion and then claiming you're a Christian. You lied when you said you knew where every single child was. You ignore the fact that @ICEgov is the new American Gestapo. You ignore the undoing of the rule of law.

        Respect was given when you won your seat in the senate...however, that respect has been lost due to your inaction, inability to look at your president and say "NO" Mr President your words and actions are Unaceptable!

        Remember that RESPECT is earned and YOU will NOW have to EARN our respect back. As for civility...go talk to your president and school him in civility. Also talk with your fellow Republicans about civility and to stop the name calling. It all started with GOP.

        We will never respect fascism, the jailing of children, human rights abuses, police brutality, violence toward the poor, voter suppression. Do something about your party’s abuses if you want to earn back respect.

        So, it was okay for SHS to praise the SC decision about the cake baker on our dime but it’s not okay for someone to use their rights to ask her to leave? So she gets on her official government twitter account to dox a business, you might want to check into the law she broke.

        while #racism #misogyny #homophobia & other forms of bigotry ARE different worldviews, they aren't particularly valid ones also, science denial (i.e. denial of climate change) is not a different worldview, but glorifies ignorance. an uneducated opinion is not equal to fact.
