What has and is continuing to happen
"I think it's actually taking time for America to realize what has and is continuing to happen to our democracy."
[From the Internet forum.]
Should "been" follow "has" in the sentence above?
Is "is continuing" redundant when "has been continuing" is used in the "has been and is continuing"? In other words, is it overloaded with grammatical tenses?
