Remember the insightful Republican Study Committee memo on copyright? The Republican Study Committee fired the author:

The staffer who wrote the memo, an ambitious 24-year-old named Derek Khanna, was fired — even before the RSC had decided on other staffing changes for the upcoming Congress. The copyright memo was a main reason.

Absolutely despicable and disgusting.

Here’s a memo to the GOP: firing people for writing intelligently on topics that’s inconvenient to political interest groups isn’t going to help you. Get your shit in order.
