Our Reading

As expected, the matter has reached another stage.

Senator Cornyn calls for condemnation, while Talarico’s campaign is built on faith and progressive policies. Dr. Rigby’s sermon sparks laughter, and the assassination attempt is mentioned. The incident is used to criticize Talarico’s stance on political violence. The familiar dance of outrage and condemnation begins. The performance of moral outrage is well-rehearsed.
