Jacob Hacker’s Op-Ed on the GOP Convention
July 25, 2016
Jacob Hacker and co-author Paul Pierson write an op-ed in the Washington Post about the GOP tactics at the convention in Cleveland. In “The Republican ‘Lock Her Up!’ Chants Were Disturbing, They Were Also Inevitable” Hacker and Pierson look back on the last 25 years of Republicans delegitimizing Democratic leaders. “Elected officials also face growing incentives to promote, or at least countenance, partisan extremism,” they write of the GOP.
