David Simon: The Republican Party Has Become ‘the Cult of Death’

EXCERPT:

SIMON: "The cult of death that the Republican Party has become in America is astonishing to me. You know, I grew up in a notion where I was not going to agree on the vast majority of issues with Republicans, but there were some where I could and they were some where I didn’t see any ideological problem with certain positions undertaken by the party. I am now 60 years old and I can’t recognize the loyal opposition that is, in fact, looking towards an American future. I don’t recognize that in the Republican Party. And I know that that sounds partisan or that the people want me to blame the government or blame Congress, but that’s not what it is. This is — this is — this is asymmetrical warfare on the part of people who were not really interested in anything other than power or money."
