Why?
Looks like Cathy McMorris Rodgers has decided who she’s going to stand alongside.
Just read where she is one of the 106 Republicans who have decided to sign on to President Trump”s feeble attempt at a coup to remain in power despite losing at the polls by a decisive 7,000,000 some votes. This surely isn’t in the best interests of Washington’s 5th District.
My question is, why? Is she so terrified of this president that she has to join all the other lemmings who are willing to die on the hill with him?
It makes no sense other than to further Republican interests to stay in power despite numerous federal and state agencies who have proven there was no “widespread election fraud” despite this embattled president’s claims to the contrary. A better question to ask might be, what does this president have on her to get her to knuckle under to this nonsense?
