At least one has tiny bit of shame? They all should resign.

Also nothing happened to the Republican or his staffers who allowed to have a swastika on the American flag.

I'm fine with there being hate-filled people in the world; the world manufacturers people like me all the time.

I will admit that I assumed that all involved in that leak would be better off for it. Maybe there's a glimmer of hope still.
