CMR deserved boos

So the Spokane Republican chairwoman wanted an apology from Democrats for the many “boos” Cathy McMorris Rodgers received at a public appearance. Well McMorris Rodgers deserved no apology because she earned every “boo” she received, plus many more.

She deserved “boos” for the 40 times she voted against the Affordable Care Act. She deserved “boos” for the times she voted against the budget that included food stamp funding needed for our citizens living in chronically depressed 5th District areas. Plus she’s earned “boos” for the multiple votes she’s taken that are not in the best interests of our 5th District citizens.

I must admit that Rodgers has earned one big “A” grade. That “A” is in smiling. For years she’s been standing behind the Republican congressional leadership that pulls her strings and she’s always wearing that same big smile.

Unfortunately, Rodgers suffers from that same terrible physical handicap that plagues so many fellow Republican Congressional Trump followers. No backbone.
