Welcome to the Bully State

The Trump White House has a way to deal with dissent:

Public comments on the voter fraud commission released by the White House late Thursday were overwhelmingly, and in many cases profanely, critical of the project.

The Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity posted on its page on the White House website, without comment or explanation, 112 pages of emails received through July 11, commenting on the organization’s request for states to send them voter information. The posted material did not redact the email addresses, phone numbers and home addresses of the authors.

“Please note that the Commission may post such written comments publicly on our website, including names and contact information that are submitted,” read a blog post published Thursday on the White House’s site.

Of course, the White House will claim no responsibility for any threats or retaliation on the commenters by the nutjobs who still support the president. Trump only claims responsibility for other people's accomplishments.
