My congresswoman, really?

Sat., July 20, 2019

On July 16 Congress voted to condemn the president’s racist remarks about fellow congresswomen. My representative voted against it. There is no gray area. Either she condones racism or is in fact racist. So which is it? And no, you don’t get to claim it’s some sort of personal attack. This is a fact about our objectionable president.

So which is it, Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers?
