CMR’s same old tactics
Donald Trump is a racist, a sexist and a consistent flip-flopper. The Republicans who are smart are running as far away as possible from him to keep their jobs in Congress, even to the point of denouncing him.
Like most of our Republican representatives in Congress, Cathy McMorris Rodgers is still using the same old tactics. She will uphold the Constitution of the United States. Wink, nod. She will continue to fight for your right to choose your health care plan. Wink, nod. She wants to get rid of governmental agencies that no longer serve a purpose or are inefficient. Wink, nod.
She has served us since 2005 and is the highest-ranking woman and the fourth highest-ranking Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives. In her years of representing us, how many bills has she proposed and how many have been passed? It seems that in every major press conference on Capitol Hill she is always standing behind the men, not beside them as an equal. These two reasons alone should tell you why we need to elect someone else to serve as our U.S. representative.
