Because of angry mobs, Toomey has had to move his Philadelphia office to the protection of a federal complex and can do almost no public events in Philadelphia. However, Costello has had his office invaded by angry anti-Trump mobs and shouted down at many public events. Neither man is a rabid public figure in tone or policies. Neither man has really been a Trump supporter Costello didn’t even attend Trump’s inauguration. In Pennsylvania, the unfortunate consequence of this hatred is the savagery of attacks mounted against decent men such as Rep. The resistance wants to tear Trump apart.

The people whom Hillary Clinton called “deplorables” during the 2016 presidential campaign. I don’t know whether the show normalized Trump, but it did once again help to normalize some of the people who voted for Trump. It’s a small line to draw, but it’s a start.”Ĭhrissy Teigen tweeted that “Roseanne” was really helping to normalize Trump. I saw the first two episodes of the ‘Roseanne’ reboot, but that’s all I am going to watch. There are times when we can consume problematic pop culture, but this is not one of those times.
She then wrote: “This fictional family, and the show’s very real creator, are further normalizing Trump and his warped political ideologies.
