Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA) walked back remarks Sunday he made to CNN’s Manu Raju in which he said Democratic lawmakers were acting like “a terrorist,” suggesting he misspoke when using the highly-charged term.

“Why not work with Democrats right now, try to cut a deal and reopen the government?” Raju asked McCormick.

McCormick bluntly responded by saying that the “main reason” he and his Republican colleagues couldn’t negotiate with Democratic lawmakers was because “you can’t negotiate with a terrorist.”

    While I don’t really expect things to get dramatically better, I do know there’s going to be a massive shift in the “weather” with Trump’s sinking popularity and/or advanced age and looming demise, and when that happens, it will be like every MAGA nutcase disappeared overnight, and you won’t be able to find a single person who supported any of it, like by magic.

    Except for every single Republican who has just been riding the Trump-Train to Fascistville and have the most rotten, brain-dead, malicious statements on record and will have to dance and jig their way out of the history books now that daddy isn’t around to protect them.
