Letters to the Editor
Washingont 5th District Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers endorses and supports a person to lead our nation who disrespects and dishonors the very citizens of the nation he wants to lead. Cathy has not unendorsed or unsupported this person, thereby embracing the future he promotes in degrading individuals, and showing her lack of character and courage in facing up to it.
Cathy’s endorsement means she openly approves of this person’s positions that dishonor and disrespect Sen. John McCain as no war hero because he was captured and spent years in prison camp in service to our country, and dishonor and disrespect all Purple Heart recipients, their service and their families by claiming he had always wanted a Purple Heart and conceding how much easier it was to receive the medal as a gift. He also disrespects a Gold Star father and mother because they pointed out his lack of sacrifice and service.
He has insulted African-Americans about how they live and what their schools are like; mocked a disabled reporter by mimicking the reporter’s arm movements and voice impediments and proclaimed a U.S. citizen judge would not have the ability to give him a fair trial because he was a “Mexican.” He is debasing women with all manner of crude remarks. By extension, Cathy devalues and finds unworthy the very same types of good people we have here in Eastern Washington.
Cathy’s approval of this disrespectful and dishonorable behavior does not represent our values and is never appropriate for our representative. She does not deserve your vote.
