      She is free to say they do not represent her. But we both know that's not what she's doing.

      ??? Not represent *her*? Obviously they don’t represent her! They oppose her! Why would she bother to say that? What needs to be said is they are disgusting racists! How should she do that—what words should she say that would satisfy you?

      I’m waiting. So racists and nuts with guns wanting to intimidate elected representatives come to the capital? How should a governor say, “I oppose racists and gun nuts.” Or should she say nothing? What do you think?

      Also, "intimidate"? We both know nobody is intimidated. The statehouse Ds are doing cartwheels.

      No—they weren’t. That is really a contemptible for you to say. Some of them have said they were genuinely scared. These thugs were armed and they were trying to intimidate the Dems. No, they aren’t happy. Don’t project your cynicism into to people who were rightly appalled.

      There’s something off here. Your instinct—first move—is not to be viscerally disgusted by horrible people behaving horribly and representing a violent racist aspect of our politics. Your instinct is to condemn those who condemn them, even blandly. So: are you not disgusted too?

      My instinct is to mistrust Democratic politicians bearing well-worn narratives that have been misused more times than I can count.

      What does it matter whst her *motives* are? She denounced racists/milita extremists. Easy call for any elected or it should be. She did the *right* thing, regardless of why. So why won’t you do the right thing too? The racists are the problem, not her denunciation.

      Should this also be the rule when Antifa shows up at progressive rallies?

      Sure, but it’s like comparing a minnow to an elephant. And liberal writers dud condemn them anyway. You’ve got a much bigger problem—it’s so much easier to say, “Rscists and armed lunatics disgust me. Not my conservatism.” Just do it.

      Question is not "did condemn" but "will condemn any event they appear at, on demand from Republican politicians."

          Just say the racists and guns in the legislative body outrage you and that they are not the behavior that should be benignly viewed (even if protected) in a healthy democratic polity. That’s just baseline stuff. Mainstream CD Germans do it re neo Nazis all the time. Just do that.
