At a moment when Republicans had hoped to begin taking on Hillary Clinton — who is seemingly on her way to wrapping up the Democratic nomination — the GOP has instead become consumed by a crisis over its identity and core values ..>> view originalShaun King rips Chris Rock's 'distasteful,' 'illogical' Oscars monologue
