Wake up, Cathy!
Abe must be rolling over in his grave. President Trump has stated that he is even better than
President Lincoln was, for whatever reason I am not sure.
Now, our Congressional Representative, Cathy McMorris Rodgers, says we must accept the
reality of Mr. Trump’s election, accept his lack of leadership with the pandemic, accept his four
years of lies and racism, accept his bullying tactics. Really?
Tell me, Cathy, is this the type of leadership you respect and want? Why? What perverse
similarity to Abe is “the Donald”? Is it Trump’s trust in those who advise him, like Putin? Is it his
friendship with Kim Jong Un and other dictators? Or, perhaps, you agree with his preference for
witch doctors and lysol injections for a COVID cure? Maybe you like his inhumane treatment of
immigrant children? I could continue, but maybe you haven’t been paying attention to the
news,Representative Rodgers.
You state in your letter that Democrats have failed to see America’s greatness. I couldn’t
disagree more, Cathy. Our country’s greatness is the ability to see that we can remove Mr.
Trump by voting him out, and thus drain the putrescence that he has created.
Wake up, Representative McMorris-Rodgers!
