“Cowardly Worms!” Says Daily Beast and Newsweek publisher and editor Tina Brown on Senate voting down background checks.
“Mark it down, this is going to be a turning point in the history of the Republican Party as well. And let those out there chattering, let them chatter away all they want to and scream like hyenas. This party that killed this background check yesterday — this party is moving toward extinction. A new Republican Party is going to replace it. And this is going to be a vote that people will look back on and say, ‘That party, that extremism, that was unsustainable.” Republican Joe Scarborough on Senate voting down background checks
