This Is What the Republican Party Has Become Under Donald Trump

Meet Blake Farenthold of Texas, Republican congressman from Texas:

This creepy leering fat guy wants to shoot an old lady because she's standing up for the right of Americans to have affordable health care:

Rep. Blake Farenthold, a Republican from Corpus Christi, Tex., on Friday criticized some Republican “female senators from the Northeast” for their opposition to efforts to pass a health care overhaul.

Then, he said, “if it was a guy from south Texas I might ask him to step outside and settle this Aaron Burr-style.”

Speaking to local radio host Bob Jones, Farenthold was referring to the 1804 duel in which Burr shot and killed Alexander Hamilton, former treasury secretary and Burr’s long-standing political rival and personal enemy.

Farenthold was just joking, he says. But casually threatening to murder fellow Republicans is par for the course in Trump's Republican Party. Trump himself continues to insult his own attorney general, Jeff Sessions, because Sessions considers following the Constitution a higher duty than serving as Trump's lackey.

Susan Collins, the "female senator from the Northeast" that Farenthold wants to kill, hit Farenthold back:

First, she asked Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI), “Did you see the one who challenged me to a duel?”

Reed said, “You could beat the shit out of him.”

Collins responded: “He’s so unattractive. It’s unbelievable. … Did you see the picture of him in his pajamas next to this bunny?”

Collins should accept the challenge, and propose that the duel take place at the top of the Washington Monument, which is currently closed because the elevator is being updated. Which means Farenthold will have to take the stairs.

He'll be dead of a heart attack half way up.
