Capital Gazette shooting survivor tells Trump, “I Don’t ‘Give a F*ck About Your Thoughts and Prayers.” Well that’s not civil. What happened to civility?

They were so concerned about being civil they called their war to own slaves “Civil.” Because reasonable men can disagree about raping and whipping slaves but basic human decency demands “civility.” Babies rounded up, Milo says shoot reporters, and Muslims are banned. But Sarah Huckabee Sanders getting denied a plate of pot roast is considered “uncivil.”
