Need to vote out the GOP

Since Donald Trump’s inauguration, our country has been subjected to damage caused by a treasonous, corrupt and incompetent president who was put in place with the help of a enemy nation. That Trump has been the worst president in living memory has not been surprising because he has always been nothing but a con man. What has been a surprise is that the Republican party has supported his attacks on our democracy.

Devin Nunes has done his best to cover up Trump’s treason. Cathy McMorris-Rodgers invited Nunes to speak at a fundraising dinner, and Nunes said he intends to continue covering up Trump’s crimes. The only way in which McMorris-Rodgers walked back Nunes’ statement was to say that she supported the Mueller investigation, but she undermined that by saying she would support the impeachment of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

The only way we are going to restore the rule of law in this country is vote out of office every Republican up for election this year. That includes Cathy McMorris-Rodgers. She is clearly failing to do her duty of upholding the Constitution.
