This is exactly how radicalized House Republicans have become
CNN
In 1967, Ronald Reagan, then governor of California, gave a speech in which he sought to define what the Republican Party was -- and who it included.
"The Republican Party, both in this state and nationally, is a broad party," Reagan said. "There is room in our tent for many views; indeed, the divergence of views is one of our strengths." Five decades on, in the era of Donald Trump, the Republican Party has wholly abandoned Reagan's call for a big-tent party. In its place has emerged calls for utter party purity -- or, more accurately, demands of total and utter fealty to the former president of the United States.More Related News
