I Taught At Mizzou. Here’s Why The Events There Don’t Surprise Me

The worst of the MAGA bootlickers, sycophants, doggedly-pathetic, turbo-suck-ups these days are either Republicans once vehemently opposed to him (see Lindsey & Mike Lee) or onetime Far Left "Democrats" seemingly (and in at least one case, literally) in cults of their own. Yes, Tulsi was in a religious cult in Hawaii before briefly being a Democrat while mostly attacking the party from inside the whole time and then bolting for MAGA.

Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin on Sunday defended Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services during a segment on NBC's Meet the Press with host Kristen Welker.
