Now we see the true crimes right-wingers commit…. maybe the republican party in the U.S. will learn something. NOT.

Why am I not surprised. The same has happened in the US in the past and will happen again if the right wing extremist/tea party and so called ‘Christian Conservatives’ are not carefully monitored.
