Former Republican Senator cannot recognize his own party:

 

DANFORTH: What have been the big applause lines in these debates? Well, a statement that the governor of Texas is responsible for killing 234 people on death row. Or that we favor torture. Or that we’re creating a fence on the Mexican border that electrocutes people when they try to cross it. Or when people show up at the emergency room at hospitals and they’re not insured don’t treat them. And that, I mean these are the big applause lines, people just hoop and holler when they hear all that. [...]

It doesn’t have anything to do with the republican party that I was a
part of. This is just totally different. And all of these people who
are saying this, y’know, and claiming that, y’know, they’re for all this
stuff, they also sort of ostentatiously say, “Oh, we’re very religious
people. We really, we’re just very pious, Christian people.” They
were for torture, and electrocution of the people on along the border
and all of that. That doesn’t have anything to do with, is contrary to
the Christianity that I understand.
