Andy Ogles and the Nashville Massacre

Our new book is titled Divided We Stand: The 2020 Elections and American Politics.  Among other things, it discusses the state of the parties. The state of the GOP is not good -- as every new mass shooting reminds us.  Charlie Sykes:

Let me also introduce you to Andy Ogles, the congressman who represents the district where the Covenant School is located

Yesterday, Ogles said in a statement that he and his family “are devastated by the tragedy that took place at The Covenant School in Nashville this morning.”

“We are sending our thoughts and prayers to the families of those lost,” he said. “As a father of three, I am utterly heartbroken by this senseless act of violence. I am closely monitoring the situation and working with local officials.”

This Andy Ogles, who put out this Christmas card:

“MERRY CHRISTMAS!” he wrote, followed by a fake quote attributed to George Washington: “The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference — they deserve a place of honor with all that’s good.”
