I’m sensing some hostility at the dinner table this weekend. “Honey, it’ll be all right. I’ll stand by you, support you, and pick you up after you get out of prison.” ---

I’m not sure where to put this! [Sarah Huckabee Sanders issues apology for one of her lies!](https://edition.cnn.com/2018/08/14/politics/sarah-sanders-african-american-jobs-trump-obama/index.html) _ **Is Sarah about to flip?** _ :eek: In Sarah’s defense, she made the lie (that Obama created 100,000 jobs for blacks instead of a more truthful 3 Million jobs) on TV, but apologized for the lie only with a snide tweet. So I guess she gets to keep her Top-ranked Liar credential. ---

John McCain’s death reminded me of the differences between the Republican party in 2008, and now. In 2008, this is how the Republican Party behaved towards bigotry. > **[Watch John McCain defend Barack Obama against a racist voter in 2008](https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/8/25/17782572/john-mccain-barack-obama-statement-2008-video)** > > A Minnesota woman said Obama was "Arab."

It courts and beds bigots. No, that shows how _John McCain_ behaved toward bigotry. The fact that the issue even came up, and that McCain faced a negative reaction for defending Obama, shows that bigotry was well rooted in the Republican party of 2008. McCain and Romney lost their elections and relative moderates like them are not likely to be the public face of the Republican party anytime soon.
