1. The response to Trump's racist attacks on @RepCummings, which have been going on for several days, will leave a PERMANENT STAIN on the Republican Party

Those that have spoken have EQUATED Cummings and Trump
It's outrageous

But that's not something any Republican in Congress is capable of doing, apparently
