If only he had murdered a bunch of small children instead then Republicans might have cared about the Constitution part.
I think you mean fetuses. Republicans don't care about children after they're outside of a uterus.
What the shit is going on with your username?
This is a work of fiction; any resemblance to the names of actual substances, whether real or fantastic, is purely coincidental.
Not if he did it with a gun. Or they were already born. That's where they draw the line.
They were already born they're politically useless now.
As long as they were non white children, they would have applauded.
They'd call them thugs in the press and then argue the definition of "children"
Everything he did just became the new norm for the GOP to defend. If he had done even worse, it wouldn’t have made him cross a line with the GOP, it just would have normalized even worse actions.
Give him time.
Republicans don't care about children
