Where is CMR’s voice?

Sat., Feb. 18, 2017

Where is Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers’ voice? Donald Trump signed an executive order that banned citizens from seven countries from entering the United States. He said it is necessary to keep us safe. Yet no citizen from those seven countries has killed anyone in the United States in a terrorist act.

On September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists from Saudi Arabia, United Emirates, Lebanon and Egypt killed over 2,900 Americans. None of those countries is on the ban. You can’t say this is a ban to keep America safe when it does not include the four countries with terrorists responsible for more deaths than all other U.S. attacks combined.

Where is her voice against this political theater?
