David Beasley spent more than three decades as a Republican, serving as South Carolina’s governor. He recently announced that he’s walking away from his party as he laments a rise in toxic vitriol emanating from the GOP’s standard-bearer. "The vitriolic language, the demeaning, divisive, degrading that has taken place, is just completely out of control, and I don't want to be associated with that," he tells @RealAmnaNawaz.

Trump on Amy Acton: "If what the mother said about the daughter is half right, she has no right even running for the governor of Ohio..." KC: What about what the daughter said about the mother? TRUMP: "I don’t know what she said." KC: "That the mother remained married to her stepfather who sexually abused her when she was 12 years old." TRUMP: "When did she make that statement? Was it just recently?" KC: "Years ago. He was charged with it."

Defaming victims and survivors and refusing to take accountability is a pattern for Hilario and his aligned folks. The real question Chicagoans should be asking is: why did the CPS OIG investigation, which was open for 5 years, close only weeks after Hilario became a candidate?
