@warnock.senate.gov: "As a man of faith, here's something that I have noticed about evil... Evil always gets a little bit too impressed with itself. It's filled up with hubris. Evil always goes too far, and because it goes too far, it contains within itself the seed of its own destruction."

Perhaps this should come as no surprise in a country that refuses to protect its school children from mass shootings in school? Or at school sponsored activities?
