This donation, celebrated on November 14 during a special Children’s Day event, marks a new chapter in traditional ceremonies—one that excludes the exploitation of live elephants. The mechanical elephant, launched by child actor Sreepath Yan, who expressed his excitement at its realistic appearance, embodies a growing shift in Kerala’s temples towards compassion and safety. "Vadakkumbad Sankaranarayanan will be used to conduct ceremonies in a safe and cruelty-free manner," <keyword id="25253" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="PETA" source="Orion">PETA</keyword> announced, "allowing real elephants to remain with their families in the jungle." PETA has donated three other mechanical elephants to <keyword id="23985205" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kerala-temples" source="keywords">Kerala temples</keyword> — ‘Irinjadappilly Raman,’ ‘Mahadevan,’ and ‘Baladhasan’ — to replace real elephants, which are often subjected to captivity and intense training. According to PETA, over 526 people have lost their lives to captive elephant-related incidents in Kerala in the last 15 years. Actor Vedhika, present at the event, praised the temple's decision to forgo live animals, saying, “By embracing this change, we promote both compassion and conservation, allowing elephants to live freely in their natural habitats.” Temple president K Narayanan Namboothiri echoed this sentiment, expressing pride in hosting a cruelty-free symbol to honour Kerala’s rich heritage. Through efforts like these, PETA continues to advocate for a shift towards ethical and respectful traditions, showing that preserving culture and respecting wildlife can go hand in hand.

It is set to be used in religious ceremonies in a "safe and cruelty-free manner," according to a press release by <a href="https://www.petaindia.com/features/kerala-temple-celebrated-nadayiruthal-of-lifelike-mechanical-replacement-elephant-gifted-by-peta-india/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow sponsored">PETA India</a>.The illegal capturing of elephants has been a pressing issue in India for years, where an estimated 2454 elephants in captivity was last reported in an official survey more than four years ago, according to <a href="https://indianexpress.com/article/india/captive-elephant-survey-assam-kerala-ministry-of-environment-5558564/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Indian Express</a>. <div type="image" title="elephant robot pray" height="640" width="1280" msid="98356042" hostid="261"></div>"Because elephants are wild animals who would not willingly obey human commands, when <a href="https://www.insider.com/elephant-rides-now-banned-around-angkor-wat-cambodia-2019-11">used for rides</a>, ceremonies, tricks, and other purposes, they are trained and controlled through severe punishments, beatings, and the use of weapons with a metal-tipped hook," said PETA India in their press release.India has been facing issues with animal welfare regarding elephants for a long time, especially in <a href="https://www.insider.com/elephant-tourism-the-fight-against-unethical-operators-steps-up-2018-12">elephant tourism</a>, which is said by many animal rights activists to be extremely unethical. According to PETA India, these elephants often suffer "extremely painful foot ailments and leg wounds" from the endless brutal trainings. But the temple's adoption of an electronic elephant is undeniably a huge step in the right direction in terms of animal welfare. "Real worship is to protect all forms of life created by God," said Rajkumar Namboothiri, the head priest of the temple, in the press release video. "Allowing elephants to live in nature should be the real way of revering the elephant god, Lord Ganesha," the priest continued. PETA India encourages all venues and events using live elephants to switch to the life-like mechanical substitute, and suggests that elephants which are already in captivity to be retired to sanctuaries, according to their press release.Insider has reached out to PETA India for comment.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>King Charles III's coronation will take place on Saturday at Westminster Abbey.</li><li>Insider created a visual guide to walk you through the events of the day.</li></ul>King Charles III will be crowned in a historic coronation on May 6, formalizing his role as monarch in the UK. The ceremony will take place at Westminster Abbey, where coronations have been held for the last 900 years. King Charles will be <a href="https://www.westminster-abbey.org/about-the-abbey/history/coronations-at-the-abbey/a-history-of-coronations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the 40th monarch crowned at the Abbey</a>, and Camilla will be crowned as Queen alongside him in a similar ceremony. Before the ceremony, King Charles and Camilla will process from Buckingham Palace to the Abbey, similar to how the king and other royals did ahead of Queen Elizabeth's funeral. When they process through the nave of Westminster Abbey for the ceremony itself, four pages of honor will accompany each of them. Prince George will serve as one of the king's pages, and Camilla's grandsons and great-nephew will accompany her. About 2,200 guests are expected to fill Westminster Abbey to capacity for the event. Despite the large guest list, the event will still be <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-63543019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">much smaller than Queen Elizabeth II's</a> 1953 coronation, which had more than 8,000 guests.There will also be cameras in Westminster Abbey to televise the ceremony worldwide, which has been a tradition since King George VI's 1937 <a href="https://www.bbc.com/historyofthebbc/anniversaries/may/coronation-of-king-george-vi-and-queen-elizabeth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">coronation procession</a>.The ceremony itself consists of five phases. It kicks off with King Charles being presented to the attendees, who then greet him with "God Save the King!"Next, the king makes his oath, promising to support the Church of England and the law.In the third phase, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, will conduct the anointing, traditionally called the <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22764987" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Act of Consecration</a>, with sacred oil. King Charles will be the first monarch to <a href="https://www.insider.com/king-charles-iiis-coronation-oil-wont-contain-sperm-whale-intestinal-wax-2023-3">use animal cruelty-free oil</a> for his anointing. The fourth step is the investiture, where King Charles will receive his royal regalia, including the crown his mother wore when she was crowned over 70 years ago.The ceremony ends with the enthronement and homage, where the king will sit on his throne for the first time. Traditionally, all of the royal dukes then kneel to pay homage to the monarch, but Charles will <a href="https://www.churchofengland.org/sites/default/files/2023-04/23-24132%20Coronation%20Liturgy.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">only have Prince William</a> perform this rite — leaving Prince Harry out.When King Charles III is proclaimed monarch, choristers from Westminster School <a href="https://www.euronews.com/culture/2023/02/23/coronation-choices-king-charles-reveals-his-playlist-for-crowning-ceremony" target="_blank" rel="noopener">will sing the Latin call "Vivat"</a>, a long-held tradition for coronations, including Elizabeth's.Camilla will then be crowned in a similar ceremony <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-64638152" target="_blank" rel="noopener">with Queen Mary's crown</a>, and she will be known as Queen Camilla following her coronation. It's tradition for queen consorts to be crowned alongside kings, but not the other way around. After the ceremony, members of the royal family will process back to Buckingham Palace, where King Charles III will make his first balcony appearance as monarch.This story is part of "Charles in Charge," our package of stories all about King Charles' coronation.

Applebaum spoke via Skype from her home in Poland with Business Insider columnist Anthony Fisher about former Cold Warriors' disappointment with democracy, the return of anti-Semitism as a political weapon, and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/harpers-letter-proves-serious-free-speech-chomsky-rushdie-steinem-kasparov-2020-7">why she signed the Harper's letter</a> defending free expression and open debate.This interview has been edited for style, length, and clarity. Fisher: The book starts off with a story about a New Year's Eve party in Poland on December 31, 1999. The Cold War hadn't even been over for a decade, and a lot of the partygoers were staunch Eastern European pro-democracy activists during the Communist era. But a lot of these guests' politics have since evolved severely — going from pro-democracy to pro-authoritarian. What made these people embrace the strongman? Applebaum: In every case there's some form of disappointment. Sometimes it's personal disappointment with the transition to democracy, which didn't give the former dissident the career that he wanted. Sometimes it's dislike of democratic political culture, which seems insufficiently muscular, or simply too secular. People aren't going to church anymore. There's a fear of the loss of something traditional and older. Modernization, historically, has always brought with it these kinds of feelings. In my book I look briefly at Germany in the 19th century, where there was also an outburst of what the historian Fritz Stern called "cultural despair": The feeling that the culture is declining, that there are no heroes anymore, that democracy and capitalism cannot produce deep feelings or great works of art.Fisher: You introduced the concept of the <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/10/poland-polarization/568324/">medium-sized lie</a> in "Twilight of Democracy," which of course is a play on the "Big Lies" that fascist and communist governments would tell their people as a means of control. Can you talk a little bit about what the medium-sized lie is?Applebaum: These are conspiracy theories, false stories that don't necessarily seek to explain everything about the world, but which can be weaponized in order to undermine faith in democratic institutions, the media, and politicians. The first time I saw how effectively they can be used was in 2010, after a plane crash killed the president of Poland. Multiple investigations have since shown that this was a terrible accident, brought about by the misjudgments of pilots who were under pressure from the president's staff, and maybe from the president himself, to land in a dangerous situation.But the late president's political party, Law and Justice — now led by his twin brother — spent years implying that there is a secret, alternative explanation, though they've never been explicit about who caused the crash. Maybe it was the Russians. Or maybe it was the then-Polish government. After five years in power, they've never been able to prove that anything that happened was any different from what the original investigator said. But they nevertheless convinced millions of people that the president was murdered, and that the whole establishment is covering it up, from the prime minister to the media to the bureaucracy to the police and the army: No wonder so many Poles lost faith in their institutions.Birtherism was the same kind of lie, and it had the same kind of impact in the US. If you believe that Obama is an illegitimate president, then you must also come to believe that everyone — Congress, the White House, the CIA, The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal — are all conspiring to hide the fact that we have an illegitimate president. Once you believe that then your faith in all kinds of institutions can be loosened or undermined, and you will be willing to listen to alternative sources of information. A similar kind of conspiracy theory has been used in Hungary, where the ruling party has accused George Soros of secretly plotting to undermine Hungary and to replace Hungarians with Muslims. Eventually, when Hungarian Prime Minister <keyword id="165517" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Viktor-Orban">Viktor Orban</keyword> forced the partial closure of the Central European University, which had been founded with Soros' money, people didn't really object because they had accepted the idea that Soros is an enemy of the people. Incidentally, for all the talk on the right about how the left is undermining universities and academia, the right-wing Hungarian government is the only one in Europe that has actually shut down a university and intimidated academics in order to keep them silent.Fisher: In 2015 the newly-appointed Polish defense minister Antoni Macierewicz<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/10/polish-defence-minister-condemned-over-jewish-conspiracy-theory"> shockingly said</a> that the anti-Semitic forgery "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" is a plausible document. As someone who's lived in Poland for a long time, do you think that's emblematic of a rise of anti-Semitism in Poland or in other Eastern European governments? Applebaum: The idea that the Jews are undermining us and are responsible for the decline of our nation is one of the oldest conspiracy theories, of course: It's been used by politicians to create a sense of unity among their followers for centuries. Generally speaking, I don't think anti-Semitism is that effective anymore, not least because there aren't that many Jews around, particularly in Poland. But it works as a kind of identity marker: "We're not people like that."It's important to note that this is all quite recent: If you had asked me in 2015, I would have said that political anti-Semitism was gone, banished to fringe websites. It was not part of public life. At the same time, I would also have said that much of the remaining anti-Polish prejudice among Jews in the United States was also gone. There have been excellent relations between the international Jewish community and successive Polish governments, which culminated in the construction of Polin, the spectacular Jewish museum in Warsaw. At the museum's opening ceremony, it seemed as if the whole long saga of Polish-Jewish history, had found a happy ending.But now we have gone backwards again, because the Law and Justice government have once again decided that anti-Semitism is a useful tool. Nowadays they mostly speak about foreign Jews, who are supposedly disrespecting the country, or who are trying to take back formerly Jewish property, stealing it from Poles. And thus is a whole new generation introduced to this very old form of conspiracy thinking.Fisher: It was two years ago that<a href="https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/polish-death-camp-america-speech-police-article-1.3792990"> the Law and Justice party sought to make it illegal to make statements</a> implying the Polish people had any complicity in Nazi crimes during the Holocaust. Applebaum: Yes, this is part of this paranoia: They say they believe that Poland has been slandered, that Poland has been unfairly accused of planning and running the Holocaust. And it is true, of course, that Poles did not plan or run the Holocaust, even if there were some Polish collaborators.But that law wasn't intended to actually function – it was unenforceable. It was passed just so that the ruling party could tell its supporters that it was doing something, pushing back against the "libel" international Jewish community. The irony is that it had exactly the opposite effect from the one intended: It suddenly drew the world's attention to the resurgence of political anti-Semitism in Poland. Fisher: I want to pivot to US politics. Something I've noticed of late is a fair amount of political YouTubers saying we're basically in the early days of a civil war. In "Twilight of Democracy," you mentioned Joseph DiGenova, a conservative lawyer and former US Attorney. He was a guest on Laura Ingraham show's and said civil discourse is dead for the foreseeable future, and that he truly believes there's going to be a "total" civil war. It feels like some on the right are openly rooting for Americans to tear each other apart.Applebaum: It's not a secret that a part of the right that wants civil war and wants violence. It is perhaps unusual to see it on national television, even on Fox. But if you spend any time online looking at extremist sites, which unfortunately I've done, you read about it quite often. There is some evidence that right-wing provocateurs were responsible for some of the violence that took place during the Black Lives Matter demonstrations this summer too.I hate to say this — and I hope I'm wrong — but I am afraid that if Trump loses in November, the groups who want civil war or race war will take to the streets. People who spend a lot of time on extremist websites have been told that Biden and Harris represent an evil, dangerous left, that they will destroy the country; some of them will want to take to the streets and prevent them from coming to power.Fisher: In the book you wrote that while you have plenty of disagreements with somebody like Laura Ingraham, you agreed with her on "cancel culture," extremism on campus, and "exaggerated claims of those who practice identity politics" that you say "will require a real bravery to fight." You also signed<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/harpers-letter-proves-serious-free-speech-chomsky-rushdie-steinem-kasparov-2020-7"> the controversial Harper's letter calling for the defense of free inquiry and debate</a>. What's your feeling about the reaction to the letter, especially among critics who say cancel culture either doesn't exist or that it's not a real problem? Applebaum: To be clear, I do not think, as Ingraham does, that "cancel culture" is the main problem facing American society. Right now, I think it's a much less important problem than the threat to democracy posed by the authoritarian right. Just to be clear.But cancel culture certainly exists, and is a genuine problem not so much for me, or for people who are already established in academia or journalism, but for people who aren't famous or established, and who are at risk of losing their livelihoods because they have violated unwritten speech codes. An Arab immigrant who ran a restaurant in Minnesota<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/zero-tolerance-cancellations-social-justice-criminal-reform-racism-police-brutality-2020-6"> lost his business</a>, for example, after his daughter was found to have written some egregious tweets five years earlier. That kind of thing strikes me as profoundly unjust.I thought it would be useful to sign the Harper's letter in the name of people like that, who don't have big names and who aren't known in the media, and who aren't able to defend themselves so easily. I hoped to make a broader audience aware that there is this problem.It is wrong, I think to describe this as just a matter of "free speech," because it is more complicated than that. There always are limits to speech and there always are limits to what we can tolerate. The question is how to negotiate those limits, how we decide what they are. It seems right now that they're often decided by a very small group of loud people, rather than by a kind of decent majority. That small group gets to decide what language is and is not "racist." The effect is that there are now important topics that can't be discussed in some contexts, and that's unfortunate. It is very possible that this "cancel culture" moment will die out by itself, at least at universities: Students tend to dislike what the previous generation of students was doing. It's possible that a new generation will eventually laugh at the very stringent forms of political correctness that have been applied in recent years.Fisher: If Trump were to lose in November, does Trump's right populist movement wither or does it evolve into something else? Applebaum: It depends on how he loses. If he loses by a lot, and if other Republicans go down with him, then there might be a rethink inside the party. At the end of the day, these are people who want to get elected to office. If they see that Trump's authoritarianism is a losing prospect, then there's a possibility for a real change inside the party. If the election is much closer, then the Trumpist wing of the party will remain and some Republicans will continue to use that language and that style of politics to stay in power. Indeed, one of the things on the ballot in November is the future of the Republican Party. It needs to lose, and lose badly, if it's going to recover and become the broad, multiracial, center-right party that America needs once again.<ul class="read-more-links"><li>Read more:</li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/hatemonger-jean-guerrero-interview-stephen-miller-white-nationalism-and-2020-8">'Hatemonger' author Jean Guerrero on Stephen Miller, white nationalism, and performative cruelty</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/to-start-a-war-robert-draper-bad-intelligence-bush-iraq-2020-7">'To Start a War' author Robert Draper talks about the intelligence disasters that led Bush to invade Iraq</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-surviving-autocracy-interview-masha-gessen-2020-7">'Surviving Autocracy' author Masha Gessen on Trump's casual racism, how his incompetence prevents accountability, and the institutions that failed us</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-not-playing-dictator-anymore-orange-man-good-portland-chicago-2020-7">Trump's not just 'playing' dictator anymore</a></li></ul>

The president alluded to the intraparty squabbling in his controversial tweets, in which he suggested the lawmakers should "go back" to their countries of origin (all of them are US citizens and three were born in the US).As he played off of the racist "go back home" trope, <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1150381396994723841">Trump added</a>, "I'm sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!"Democrats have united behind the lawmakers - Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts - since Trump tweeted about them.

Chakrabarti in his tweet singled out Rep. Sharice Davids, one of the first two Native American women to ever serve in Congress.&#xa0;"I don't think people have to be personally racist to enable a racist system," Chakrabarti wrote. "And the same could even be said of the Southern Democrats. I don't believe Sharice is a racist person, but her votes are showing her to enable a racist system."&#xa0;<h2>Pelosi wants loyalty, but progressives like Ocasio-Cortez refuse to bend the knee</h2>As progressives were still fuming over the emergency aid bill, Pelosi in an early July interview with The New York Times lambasted Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, Tlaib, and Pressley.&#xa0;"All these people have their public whatever and their Twitter world. But they didn't have any following. They're four people and that's how many votes they got," <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/06/opinion/sunday/nancy-pelosi-pride-parade.html?module=inline">Pelosi said.</a> This sparked responses from both <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/aocs-chief-of-staff-calls-speaker-pelosi-out-on-twitter-after-op-ed-2019-7">Chakrabarti</a> and Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter.&#xa0;"All these articles want to claim what a legislative mastermind Pelosi is, but I'm seeing way more strategic smarts from freshman members," Chakrabarti&#xa0;<a href="https://twitter.com/saikatc/status/1147679358775115781">tweeted</a> on July 6 after the Speaker's comments were published. "Pelosi is just mad that she got outmaneuvered (again) by Republicans."Ocasio-Cortez in a subsequent tweet on Monday <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-goes-after-house-speaker-nancy-pelosi-2019-7">rejected the notion she shouldn't go against the Speaker in public</a>, stating, "Having respect for ourselves doesn't mean we lack respect for her. It means we won't let everyday people be dismissed."<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Later in the week, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nancy-pelosi-tells-progressives-do-not-tweet-amid-aoc-feud-2019-7">Pelosi scolded caucus members</a> for tweeting complaints about other members of the party.&#xa0;"You got a complaint? You come and talk to me about it," Pelosi reportedly said at the Wednesday caucus meeting. "But do not tweet about our members and expect us to think that that is just ok."Her lecturing was widely viewed as directed at progressive lawmakers like Ocasio-Cortez, though a spokesperson for the Speaker said it was not aimed at anyone in particular.&#xa0;Ocasio-Cortez then accused Pelosi of <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/outright-disrespectful-four-house-women-struggle-as-pelosi-isolates-them/2019/07/10/a33c63a8-a33f-11e9-b7b4-95e30869bd15_story.html?utm_term=.fdd9f8bc8266">"singling out of newly elected women of color"</a> in an interview with The Washington Post on Wednesday, describing the House Speaker's demeanor toward them as "outright disrespectful."The next day, when asked if she thought Pelosi was motivated by racism, Ocasio-Cortez said "<a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/452602-ocasio-cortez-explains-her-criticism-of-pelosi-says-shes-absolutely-not-racist">no, no, absolutely not, absolutely not.</a>" But the freshman Democrat defended her criticism of the House Speaker, stating, "I think it's really just pointing out a pattern, right?""We're not talking just about progressives, it's singling out four individuals and knowing the media environment we're operating in, knowing the amount of death threats we get, knowing the amount of concentration of attention, I think it's worth asking why," she added.Meanwhile, Pressley described Pelosi's comments as <a href="https://www.axios.com/aoc-pelosi-singling-out-congress-women-of-color-3fe4f2b2-bc27-4127-bb3b-5552b0acb287.html">"demoralizing."</a>The feud was then escalated significantly after the House Democrats' official Twitter account shared a screenshot of Chakrabarti's tweet attacking moderates over the emergency border aid funding bill and laid into him in the process. This really added fuel to the fire.&#xa0;&#xa0;"Who is this guy and why is he explicitly singling out a Native American woman of color? Her name is Congresswoman Davids, not Sharice. She is a phenomenal new member who flipped a red seat blue. Keep Her Name Out Of Your Mouth," the House Democrats' account said in a tweet that was retweeted by Pelosi's deputy chief of staff, Drew Hammill.&#xa0;Progressives were incensed over the tweet.&#xa0;"It's deeply concerning that House leadership seems to be focused on attacking progressive Democrats who want the party to fight more aggressively against Trump's cruelty at the border," Waleed Shahid, Justice Democrats' communications director, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/aoc-pelosi-rift-increasingly-public-2019-7">told INSIDER.</a>Trump's racist tweets attacking the four lawmakers came not long after. &#xa0;<h2>This is a fight for the direction of the Democratic party</h2>When it comes down to it, this fight is linked to a larger battle between left-leaning progressives like "The Squad" and more moderate Democrats like Pelosi for the broader direction of the party. The progressives feel that Democrats have been playing <keyword id="6358883" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="politics">politics</keyword> for too long and need to take more principled stances to address imminent problems, while Pelosi often preaches pragmatism for the sake of what she feels is good for the party in the long-run. This fight has played out over not just immigration <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/progressives-blame-nancy-pelosi-for-horrendous-migrant-aid-bill-2019-7">but also impeaching Trump</a>, as Pelosi has slammed the brakes and progressives have made impassioned pleas for the party to put the pedal to the metal.Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/progressives-blame-nancy-pelosi-for-horrendous-migrant-aid-bill-2019-7">Progressives blame Nancy Pelosi for 'horrendous' migrant aid bill and holding them back on impeachment</a>Pelosi at times has also scoffed at progressive policy proposals like the Green New Deal, further driving a wedge between older, centrist Democrats and the younger, firebrand members of the party who are trying to take the reins.&#xa0;Omar at the progressive Netroots Nation conference in Philadelphia on Saturday said that progressives are aiming to "grab" power from congressional leadership.&#xa0;"There's a constant struggle with people who have power about sharing that power," she said, while joined by Tlaib, Pressley, and Rep. Deb Haaland on a panel. "And we are not really in the business of asking to share that power - we are in the business of grabbing that power to return it to the people."Similarly, Pressley told the conference, "I don't want to bring a chair to an old table. This is the time to shake the table. This is the time to redefine that table."At the same event, Tlaib told the audience that Democrats are going to "impeach that MFer," in an apparent reference to Trump.&#xa0;<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div><h2>What are the consequences for the party and 2020?</h2>Though Democrats may have temporarily united to condemn Trump's tweets, the riff in the party that's been growing in recent months could continue to widen.&#xa0;The same day as Trump's tweets went out, an anonymous Democratic group leaked&#xa0;<a href="https://www.axios.com/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-poll-democrats-2020-aeaa3771-f142-4059-b79e-1fed569dfdf9.html">an internal poll</a>&#xa0;to Axios on&#xa0;white non-college-educated "swing voters" showed they have a strong disdain for lawmakers like Ocasio-Cortez and Omar.

Weeks of Democratic infighting between Nancy Pelosi and 'the Squad' preceded Trump's racist tweet attacks

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image">Kevin Lamarque/ReutersJohn McCain.</div></div></div>Sen. John McCain delivered a powerful speech from the Senate floor Tuesday as he returned to Congress for the first time since being diagnosed with brain cancer earlier this month.The Arizona Republican made his remarks following his vote in favor of the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/senate-republican-health-care-bill-motion-to-proceed-vote-count-pass-2017-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">motion to proceed on the Senate's healthcare legislation</a>. McCain's vote allowed the GOP to hit 50 votes, which was enough to move the legislation onto a debate after Vice President Mike Pence cast a tie-breaking tally.McCain's speech focused on a need to return to a more bipartisan approach."Let's trust each other," he said. "Let's return to regular order. We've been spinning our wheels on too many important issues because we keep trying to find a way to win without help from across the aisle. That's an approach that's been employed by both sides, mandating legislation from the top down, without any support from the other side, with all the parliamentary maneuvers that requires.""We're getting nothing done," he continued. "All we've really done this year is confirm Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. Our healthcare insurance system is a mess. We all know it, those who support Obamacare and those who oppose it. Something has to be done. We Republicans have looked for a way to end it and replace it with something else without paying a terrible political price. We haven't found it yet, and I'm not sure we will. All we've managed to do is make more popular a policy that wasn't very popular when we started trying to get rid of it."McCain said he voted in favor of the motion to proceed to allow amendments to be brought forward in the ensuing debate, adding that he will not vote for the Senate healthcare bill, the Better Care Reconciliation Act, in its current form."We've tried to do this by coming up with a proposal behind closed doors in consultation with the administration, then springing it on skeptical members, trying to convince them it's better than nothing, asking us to swallow our doubts and force it past a unified opposition," he said. "I don't think that is going to work in the end. And it probably shouldn't.""The Obama administration and congressional Democrats shouldn't have forced through Congress without any opposition support a social and economic change as massive as Obamacare," he continued. "And we shouldn't do the same with ours."He said if the current healthcare process fails, which he called "likely," the Senate should pursue healthcare legislation through regular order."Let the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee under Chairman Alexander and Ranking Member Murray hold hearings, try to report a bill out of committee with contributions from both sides," he said. "Then bring it to the floor for amendment and debate, and see if we can pass something that will be imperfect, full of compromises, and not very pleasing to implacable partisans on either side, but that might provide workable solutions to problems Americans are struggling with today.""What have we to lose by trying to work together to find those solutions?" he continued. "We're not getting much done apart. I don't think any of us feels very proud of our incapacity. Merely preventing your political opponents from doing what they want isn't the most inspiring work. There's greater satisfaction in respecting our differences, but not letting them prevent agreements that don't require abandonment of core principles, agreements made in good faith that help improve lives and protect the American people."McCain said the Senate is "capable" of doing that."I've seen it happen many times," he said. "And the times when I was involved even in a modest way with working out a bipartisan response to a national problem or threat are the proudest moments of my career, and by far the most satisfying."<h2>Read McCain's full remarks:</h2>"Mr. President:"I've stood in this place many times and addressed as president many presiding officers. I have been so addressed when I have sat in that chair, as close as I will ever be to a presidency.""It is an honorific we're almost indifferent to, isn't it. In truth, presiding over the Senate can be a nuisance, a bit of a ceremonial bore, and it is usually relegated to the more junior members of the majority.""But as I stand here today - looking a little worse for wear I'm sure - I have a refreshed appreciation for the protocols and customs of this body, and for the other ninety-nine privileged souls who have been elected to this Senate.""I have been a member of the United States Senate for thirty years. I had another long, if not as long, career before I arrived here, another profession that was profoundly rewarding, and in which I had experiences and friendships that I revere. But make no mistake, my service here is the most important job I have had in my life. And I am so grateful to the people of Arizona for the privilege - for the honor - of serving here and the opportunities it gives me to play a small role in the history of the country I love.""I've known and admired men and women in the Senate who played much more than a small role in our history, true statesmen, giants of American <keyword id="6358883" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Politics">politics</keyword>. They came from both parties, and from various backgrounds. Their ambitions were frequently in conflict. They held different views on the issues of the day. And they often had very serious disagreements about how best to serve the national interest.""But they knew that however sharp and heartfelt their disputes, however keen their ambitions, they had an obligation to work collaboratively to ensure the Senate discharged its constitutional responsibilities effectively. Our responsibilities are important, vitally important, to the continued success of our Republic. And our arcane rules and customs are deliberately intended to require broad cooperation to function well at all. The most revered members of this institution accepted the necessity of compromise in order to make incremental progress on solving America's problems and to defend her from her adversaries.""That principled mindset, and the service of our predecessors who possessed it, come to mind when I hear the Senate referred to as the world's greatest deliberative body. I'm not sure we can claim that distinction with a straight face today.""I'm sure it wasn't always deserved in previous eras either. But I'm sure there have been times when it was, and I was privileged to witness some of those occasions.""Our deliberations today - not just our debates, but the exercise of all our responsibilities - authorizing government policies, appropriating the funds to implement them, exercising our advice and consent role - are often lively and interesting. They can be sincere and principled. But they are more partisan, more tribal more of the time than any other time I remember. Our deliberations can still be important and useful, but I think we'd all agree they haven't been overburdened by greatness lately. And right now they aren't producing much for the American people.""Both sides have let this happen. Let's leave the history of who shot first to the historians. I suspect they'll find we all conspired in our decline - either by deliberate actions or neglect. We've all played some role in it. Certainly I have. Sometimes, I've let my passion rule my reason. Sometimes, I made it harder to find common ground because of something harsh I said to a colleague. Sometimes, I wanted to win more for the sake of winning than to achieve a contested policy.""Incremental progress, compromises that each side criticize but also accept, just plain muddling through to chip away at problems and keep our enemies from doing their worst isn't glamorous or exciting. It doesn't feel like a political triumph. But it's usually the most we can expect from our system of government, operating in a country as diverse and quarrelsome and free as ours.""Considering the injustice and cruelties inflicted by autocratic governments, and how corruptible human nature can be, the problem solving our system does make possible, the fitful progress it produces, and the liberty and justice it preserves, is a magnificent achievement.""Our system doesn't depend on our nobility. It accounts for our imperfections, and gives an order to our individual strivings that has helped make ours the most powerful and prosperous society on earth. It is our responsibility to preserve that, even when it requires us to do something less satisfying than 'winning.' Even when we must give a little to get a little. Even when our efforts manage just three yards and a cloud of dust, while critics on both sides denounce us for timidity, for our failure to 'triumph.'""I hope we can again rely on humility, on our need to cooperate, on our dependence on each other to learn how to trust each other again and by so doing better serve the people who elected us. Stop listening to the bombastic loudmouths on the radio and television and the Internet. To hell with them. They don't want anything done for the public good. Our incapacity is their livelihood.""Let's trust each other. Let's return to regular order. We've been spinning our wheels on too many important issues because we keep trying to find a way to win without help from across the aisle. That's an approach that's been employed by both sides, mandating legislation from the top down, without any support from the other side, with all the parliamentary maneuvers that requires.""We're getting nothing done. All we've really done this year is confirm Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. Our healthcare insurance system is a mess. We all know it, those who support Obamacare and those who oppose it. Something has to be done. We Republicans have looked for a way to end it and replace it with something else without paying a terrible political price. We haven't found it yet, and I'm not sure we will. All we've managed to do is make more popular a policy that wasn't very popular when we started trying to get rid of it.""I voted for the motion to proceed to allow debate to continue and amendments to be offered. I will not vote for the bill as it is today. It's a shell of a bill right now. We all know that. I have changes urged by my state's governor that will have to be included to earn my support for final passage of any bill. I know many of you will have to see the bill changed substantially for you to support it.""We've tried to do this by coming up with a proposal behind closed doors in consultation with the administration, then springing it on skeptical members, trying to convince them it's better than nothing, asking us to swallow our doubts and force it past a unified opposition. I don't think that is going to work in the end. And it probably shouldn't.""The Obama administration and congressional Democrats shouldn't have forced through Congress without any opposition support a social and economic change as massive as Obamacare. And we shouldn't do the same with ours.""Why don't we try the old way of legislating in the Senate, the way our rules and customs encourage us to act. If this process ends in failure, which seem likely, then let's return to regular order.""Let the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee under Chairman Alexander and Ranking Member Murray hold hearings, try to report a bill out of committee with contributions from both sides. Then bring it to the floor for amendment and debate, and see if we can pass something that will be imperfect, full of compromises, and not very pleasing to implacable partisans on either side, but that might provide workable solutions to problems Americans are struggling with today.""What have we to lose by trying to work together to find those solutions? We're not getting much done apart. I don't think any of us feels very proud of our incapacity. Merely preventing your political opponents from doing what they want isn't the most inspiring work. There's greater satisfaction in respecting our differences, but not letting them prevent agreements that don't require abandonment of core principles, agreements made in good faith that help improve lives and protect the American people.""The Senate is capable of that. We know that. We've seen it before. I've seen it happen many times. And the times when I was involved even in a modest way with working out a bipartisan response to a national problem or threat are the proudest moments of my career, and by far the most satisfying.""This place is important. The work we do is important. Our strange rules and seemingly eccentric practices that slow our proceedings and insist on our cooperation are important. Our founders envisioned the Senate as the more deliberative, careful body that operates at a greater distance than the other body from the public passions of the hour.""We are an important check on the powers of the Executive. Our consent is necessary for the President to appoint jurists and powerful government officials and in many respects to conduct foreign policy. Whether or not we are of the same party, we are not the President's subordinates. We are his equal!""As his responsibilities are onerous, many and powerful, so are ours. And we play a vital role in shaping and directing the judiciary, the military, and the cabinet, in planning and supporting foreign and domestic policies. Our success in meeting all these awesome constitutional obligations depends on cooperation among ourselves.""The success of the Senate is important to the continued success of America. This country - this big, boisterous, brawling, intemperate, restless, striving, daring, beautiful, bountiful, brave, good and magnificent country - needs us to help it thrive. That responsibility is more important than any of our personal interests or political affiliations.""We are the servants of a great nation, 'a nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.' More people have lived free and prosperous lives here than in any other nation. We have acquired unprecedented wealth and power because of our governing principles, and because our government defended those principles.""America has made a greater contribution than any other nation to an international order that has liberated more people from tyranny and poverty than ever before in history. We have been the greatest example, the greatest supporter and the greatest defender of that order. We aren't afraid. "We don't covet other people's land and wealth. We don't hide behind walls. We breach them. We are a blessing to humanity.""What greater cause could we hope to serve than helping keep America the strong, aspiring, inspirational beacon of liberty and defender of the dignity of all human beings and their right to freedom and equal justice? That is the cause that binds us and is so much more powerful and worthy than the small differences that divide us.""What a great honor and extraordinary opportunity it is to serve in this body""It's a privilege to serve with all of you. I mean it. Many of you have reached out in the last few days with your concern and your prayers, and it means a lot to me. It really does. I've had so many people say such nice things about me recently that I think some of you must have me confused with someone else. I appreciate it though, every word, even if much of it isn't deserved.""I'll be here for a few days, I hope managing the floor debate on the defense authorization bill, which, I'm proud to say is again a product of bipartisan cooperation and trust among the members of the Senate Armed Services Committee.""After that, I'm going home for a while to treat my illness. I have every intention of returning here and giving many of you cause to regret all the nice things you said about me. And, I hope, to impress on you again that it is an honor to serve the American people in your company.""Thank you, fellow senators.""Mr. President, I yield the floor." <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/lyudmila-ocheretnaya-putin-wife-hated-being-russia-first-lady-2017-7">The mysterious life of Vladimir Putin's ex-wife, who hated being Russia's first lady</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="NzM3d4YjE6XnescG5XIjEVYSmp4N0HZI" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>
