Time for new leadership

What has Cathy McMorris Rodgers really done for us lately? She talks a lot about making the VA “better,” but is the VA really something any of us in this new “great” America can be proud of? That’s like saying “Look, the tires on your rusted out ‘72 Ford Pinto were bald, so I replaced them! Sure, the engine has a terrible knock and the U-joint is about to snap, but hey … the tires sure are shiny and new!”

Look, I served honorably in the armed forces. I want our vets taken care of. It’s quite literally the least we can do for them.

Unfortunately, “least” is a term that hallmarks McMorris Rodgers’ entire tenure in Congress. She’s skated by for over a decade on the surety that if she just panders to conservatives, gets her face on TV next to first Boehner, then Ryan, and now the Orange Trumpster Fire occupying the Oval Office, she will have no opposition.

Well, Cathy, kids are still detained, your criminal president embarrasses the U.S. and degrades his office nearly every day, and you stand by your man, as always. It’s not enough anymore.
