What Republicans don't want to talk about

Hi John, It’s the same GOP playbook we’re used to. They know the public doesn’t side with them, so they change the subject. First it was the border, now it’s critical race theory. Republicans won’t engage with popular legislation passed by Democrats, so they try to drum up issues…
