Where is the leadership?

During these unsettling times it seems like Trump is doing everything he can to make all Americans NOT feel safe.

I have phoned Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rogers repeatedly, since March leaving message after message pleading with her to speak out against Trump’s attacks on our Constitution.

It only took five months to get back to me and the only advice given was to call the White House Comment Line. Wait just one minute, doesn’t she work for her constituents?!

It is my opinion that she has failed us. She has neither the fortitude nor the inclination to voice her disgust of Trump, his ineptitude and lies.

She has done nothing about Trump’s total mismanagement of this pandemic and the death of over 150,000 Americans and counting.

And now the GDP has tanked to a historic loss of 32.9%.

She has said nothing about Trump taking the word of Vladimir Putin, over that of our own intelligence agencies. This only leads me to believe that he is in league with Putin to destroy our country. Trump is dividing us and tearing this country apart piece by piece with his racist rhetoric, but still, Cathy McMorris Rogers remains mute. The only proof that she still exists is her campaign ads on TV.

Her silence speaks volumes.

Cathy McMorris Rogers took an oath to defend this country from ALL enemies, foreign and domestic; she lied, she has no honor and has not stood up for America

We deserve better. Vote her out.
