South Carolina governor Henry McMaster’s comment:
Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s statement:
Should we address the elephant in the room -- members of Congress should not be regularly dying in office. If they do die in office, THEY SHOULD AT LEAST TELL US THAT. This whole situation with McConnell is a fucking joke and an insult to all of us.
Shocking and unexpected. One less cheerleader for war now. Wonder who will take his place. Sean Hannity has an extra 30 minutes a week he has to fill now.
