Munson: In Oklahoma, Republicans have been in charge of state government for two decades, and nothing has improved. In fact, everything has gotten worse. On every good list, we’re at the bottom, and on every bad list, we’re at the very top.

This is the fifth GOP congressperson I’ve seen criticizing Trump’s post on Rob Reiner, and the first who isn’t either leaving the House (MTG, Bacon), a frequent critic (Massie), or in a swing district (Lawler).

There are communist countries and dictatorships that don't treat Americans this way.

Trump is doing it to citizens of our close allies.

A lot of tourists understandably won't trust Trump's thought police with that information.
