“The personal attacks,
the threats against principles,
freedoms, and institutions,
and the flagrant disregard for truth and decency,
the reckless provocations,
most often for the pettiest and most personal reasons,
reasons having nothing whatsoever
to do with the fortunes of the people
that we have been elected to serve.
None of these appalling features
of our current politics
should ever be regarded as normal.”
~ Senator Jeff Flake
