If she's talking about Republicans in general, some of those Republicans did the right thing. The Dems shouldn't make the mistake of the RNC and turn this into a victory lap.

THEY DON'T PRODUCE LITERATURE? So says the HEALTH SECRETARY whose main production has been an outbreak of measles and who stood by and said nothing when his bosses eliminated US AID endangering the lives of millions in Africa, destroying the good will accomplished by his uncle. What an ignoramus.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
