Morning Digest: Nativist Republican hatemongers still cluelessly bellowing 'America first!'

Leading Off:

● FL-02: Attorney and Club for Growth favorite Mary Thomas is out with yet another ad ahead of the August primary for this safely red seat. Thomas seizes on a favorite conservative trope and tells the audience, "Obama won't say it, but I will: Radical Islamic terrorists are killing Christians in Syria." The commercial is also probably the first (but not last) political ad to feature footage of the aftermath of the Orlando shootings, as Thomas proclaims, "In Orlando, ISIS has brought their war to America."

Thomas, a first-generation child of immigrants from India, further brags that she "led the fight against Obama's plan to bring dangerous Syrian refugees to Florida." Thomas' last job in government was serving as general counsel to the state department of elders affairs so it's incredibly unlikely she did anything to lead many fights, but GOP primary voters probably won't care. Thomas then goes full nativist as she calls for stopping "all immigration from countries that harbor terrorists," as text flashes by proclaiming that she "Agrees with Trump," concluding with her pledge to "put America first." Is no one in today's Republican Party aware of the origins of that phrase?
