Thom argues that Republicans are trying to sabotage vaccination efforts so as to discredit Democratic candidates. (Frankly, I wish that Thom’s arguments could be harder to credit. But every time you think Republicans can’t go lower, they do.)

Only a bigot would claim this country is “only suitable and sustainable for a religious people.”

Just read it.
