If there’s one thing I hate about politics, it’s sanctimony. The dictionary defines “sanctimony” as “pretended, affected, or hypocritical religious devotion, righteousness, etc.” And for most politicians from any political party anywhere in the world, sanctimony substitutes for genuine emotion.
American politicians thrive on uttering sanctimonious drivel about any and all issues. And on the issue of illegal aliens and sanctuary cities, some politicians lay the sanctimony on like a second coat of paint.
