The Covid-19 relief bill has an approval rating of somewhere around 75%, depending on which poll you read. The GOP has been reduced to distraction and diversion. In less than a week we have Mr. Potato Head, Dr. Seuss and now, playing off President Biden’s condemnations of “Neanderthal thinking” for those who are lifting mask mandates, we have part-time humorist and Senator Marco Rubio.
As a reply, one person wrote, “You love evolution now?” Another pointed out the comment is “beyond parody.”
Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) also dipped her toe in this one. It didn’t go well for her either.
Many people were quick to point out that Blackburn also needs a history lesson on Neanderthals.
Blackburn is a fool-is she aware that Neanderthal’s are extinct? Because they were none of those things?

Neanderthals get a bad rap. I bet they were nicer than us. That may even be why we’re still here and they’re not. They’d wear the masks, I bet.
