  • Battling for a political party’s soul

    Pilloried for calling out her party’s anti-semitic hate. Haley Stevens is on the side of the angels, Republicans are saying, while Liz Cheney remains condemned to perdition. Democrats reverse the polarity. Could be both were trying to save their political parties on the eve of their destruction. (🎶 Even the Jordan river has bodies floatin’.…
