State-level GOP leaders have been inconvenienced and annoyed by the capers of the county chair association, partly because they all have to call news conferences with egg on their faces and try to do damage control.
Interestingly, not a single one of those maggots has deigned to APOLOGIZE to the sitting congresswomen for the whole thing.
Ugh. I hate Illinois Nazis.
Sent a nastygram to my (Republican) congressman, asking him to take a stand on this nonsense.
So far, no reply. Typical for a back-bench lemming.
Oh good Idea, Oregon has a token GOP Congressman, I’ll email him too, he’s a semi centrist, but he has to play the game.
Greg Walden Statement on President Trump’s Recent Comments
July 16, 2019 Press Release
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Representative Greg Walden (R-Hood River) released the following statement on President Trump’s recent comments on Twitter about certain Members of Congress:
“America is a nation of immigrants and I do not, and will never, condone discrimination. The President’s recent tweets do not reflect the values that we hold dear in America and they are comments that should not be made about any American citizen regardless of who they are or where they work. Comments like these and others stating that CBP agents are ‘running concentration camps’ or that people who support Israel only do it for the ‘Benjamins’ are disgusting and wrong. They distract from the real issues our nation faces, like the humanitarian crisis at the border, the rising cost of health care, and providing for our veterans and active duty military. Just the same, taking time to vote on political resolutions condemning the President wastes precious time that should be spent debating and voting on legislation that directly improves the lives of Americans. Respectfully, Congress needs to stop wasting time bickering over mean tweets and get back to tackling the real problems facing our nation."
But clearly his Party leaves him tone deaf.
