"A political party that routinely incites violence and condones lawbreaking by its own members and supporters is not a 'tough on crime' party, and journalists who portray it as such are lying to you. The Republican Party has declared its belief that it is above the law, and has deliberately condoned and encouraged lawbreaking as a means of seizing power. It should be treated as such."

It's not a tough-on-crime party; it's just a crime party.
