Ann Wagner Is the Latest Example of a Republican Party That's Lost Its Soul

Ann Wagner certainly knows how to put Donald Trump in his place.

You may have heard that the president last week stirred a bit of a hornet's nest by tweeting that four of Wagner's fellow female congresswomen — her colleagues and sisters — should "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came." It prompted "Send Her Back!" chants at a Trump rally, which a smirking president allowed to rain down from his supporters for 13 seconds.

Well, you don't want to be messing with Fighting Ann's girls like that. Why, she was apoplectic. Let me give you a sampling of the bold words and headlines that Wagner (R-Ballwin) aimed directly, by name, at Donald J. Trump.

"The vernacular, especially toward women, I found to be very demeaning and Neanderthal to be perfectly honest," Wagner told an audience of 100 women in response to Trump's slurs. "People are sick of the politically correct thing, but you can go too far, and I don't believe we should be kicking every sector of people around, women and those who are immigrants."
