I agree with the title. I applaud the sentiment. Will you follow through and publicly call out Senator McConnell for his atrocious strategy opposing Obama and autocratic approach to legislation? Because the historians only need to look back 8 years or so to see the utter break down of bipartisanship. Accept responsibility, apologize, and then reach out.

You can draw for your inspiration the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of South Africa. If the perpetrators of Apartheid can reconcile with their victims through honest and public acceptance of their misdeeds, certainly Senators can do the same. It’s not as if you have tortured or imprisoned one another! Until Republicans accept their role in the destruction of the democratic process, we will never move forward.
