Today's MOZEN: A Strange Twist of Fate

Joseph Welch/Wikipedia

Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?

With these 2 sentences, lawyer Joseph N. Welch*, virtually single-handedly shut down Senator Joseph McCarthy's Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (the infamous Army-McCarthy Hearings, a.k.a. Communist Witch Hunt) in June of 1954.

Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?

I simply can't get the words out of my head.

Because they ring so true again today.

Kevin McCarthy/Wikipedia

 In some bizarre twist of fate, another  Republican who ironically shares the  same last name (no relation), Kevin  McCarthy, is behaving in the exact  shameful, bullying, indecent manor.

 The House Minority Leader continues to be a Trump lackey and, despite his OATH to uphold the Constitution, continues to perpetuate THE BIG LIE, challenging not only our duly elected President but our Democracy itself!

Now, in the ultimate sham, he is leading the Republican charge to silence fellow Republican representative, Liz Chaney, for her steadfast refusal to accept THE BIG LIE and blindly support Mr. Trump. Mr. McCarthy hopes to accomplish this by leading other Republicans legislators in removing Ms. Chaney from her House GOP Leadership position and having her replaced by another Trump sycophant and Big Lie proponent, Elise Stafanik.

The message is as clear as it is shameful:

Live the lie. Do what you are told. Trump is lord.

Their mendacity, hypocrisy, and downright perversion of the truth knows no bounds. We have our answer - 

They, indeed, have no shame. . .
