"The Republican party is always going to struggle to disassociate itself from cranks and racists. But it becomes futile even to try when a racist crank sits atop the party as god-emperor."

Trump Walked So Clay Higgins Could Run
The only notable thing about the congressman’s racist tweet was that his GOP colleagues bothered to admit it was horrible.William Kristol (The Bulwark)
"Higgins has styled himself a 'Cajun John Wayne,' which again is code for 'willing to commit violence in the name of white justice.' The GOP is now openly racist and proud of it, but the hate and violence was always just on simmer, ready to boil over as soon as the heat could be turned back up by a demagogue like Trump."

"As the Washington Post reported, back in 2016 Higgins, the 'brash, outspoken captain of the St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s office' in Louisiana, resigned after appearing in a video calling a group of predominantly black gang members 'animals,' 'thugs' and 'heathens.'
Higgins’s behavior is part of a long pattern of using his office to promote racism, violence and lies."

Kuo notes:
"Higgins also has a telling, disturbing past in law enforcement, having had to resign twice from different police forces. The first was from the Opelousas police force in 2007 after assaulting an unarmed Black man and lying about it. ….
The second incident bears remarkable similarity to his tweet yesterday that created a political storm."
