That the president of the United States is openly racist is intolerable, not just politically but morally. If it was ever time for the remaining adults in American politics to step forward and put an end to this vile experiment before more people are needlessly hurt, that moment is right now. And that is especially true of Republicans, since they control both houses of Congress and much of the judiciary. Right now, it's not looking too good, with House Speaker Paul Ryan saying — on Sunday, after Trump's tweet attacks — that thepresident's "heart is in the right place." The level of sheer denial is astounding. If nothing is done — and done quickly — then the blood of Puerto Rico and maybe Korea and God-knows-where-else will splatter on the hands of the Paul Ryans and the other "respectable people" who said and did nothing.
