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.
So, not resigning because he did some reflection and introspection and realized that someone like him has no business in a leadership role...
Douglass, a Republican, said in a statement Friday: “I must resign. I know that this decision will upset many, and delight others, but in this political climate I must keep my family safe.”
but because [insert vague accusation of threats]
“If my governor asks me to do something, I will act, because I believe in what he’s trying to do,” the 27-year-old freshman lawmaker added, referring to Republican Vermont Gov. Phil Scott’s call for him to step down.
but really because he was told to by someone more mature that probably wished he didn't need to be told to do the only obvious thing.

I'm fine with there being hate-filled people in the world; the world manufacturers people like me all the time.
but i'm not fine with hate-filled trying to lead; i may be privileged loser with a sore heart but i am also not trying to lead anyone anywhere.

Americans are too pussies to show a fascist what's good for’em.
