Now that we can all breathe easy knowing Brandon Sabbag lost by a 2-1 margin, let's look at all of the CT GOP figures who enthusiastically backed him without so much as a google search.

🧵 time! 1/9
3rd Degree Assault.
3rd Degree Strangulation.
Witness Tampering (a felony).
Guilty pleas and probation for all 3.

Unanimously nominated.
A lot of CT GOP figures endorsed him.

Turns out this info is not very hard to find. The CT GOP has some explaining to do.

Rep. Jim Himes on Trump blowing up boats in the Caribbean: "The White House has not shared what they believe their legal justification is. They did put out a memo. I will tell you based on what I know now and the reading of that memo, these are illegal killings."

Powerful good trouble in the Arizona legislature today. Nearly every Dem silently walked out of “Border Czar” Tom Homan’s address. No Dem stayed to listen. Trump’s mass deportation campaign is shredding our Constitution and human rights every day. Every true patriot must resist.
