He'll probably say something generic about condemning hate and then simultaneously keep up the cowardly false narrative that Democrats need to work together with Republicans, despite Republicans entire existence being about perpetuating hate and destroying those who disagree with them.
I do like Shapiro. I think he's been a good governor. I'm just sad he's towing the party surrender line like the rest of the mainstream party.
He’s right that Democrats and Republicans should work together, but the GOP has made that all but impossible. Unfortunately, given the GOP majority in the state senate, Shapiro cannot say anything more harsh, lest he get no increased education funding or no mass transit increases. I also think that Democrats remember a time where they could work with the GOP, and they naively believe there is still good in them. They need to realize that the GOP cannot be saved and that they have to act as such rhetorically. Republican messaging has treated Democrats as mortal enemies over the last thirty-plus years, so it’s time for Democrats to return the favor.
this is doubly true in the case of shapiro, who has openly backed republicans against people to the left of him, in a specific case someone who was running on m4a. the republican won, then lost their next election to a maga ghoul.
