Abdicating responsibility


Let it be clear to all voters of Minnesota that our four GOP Representatives, Pete Stauber, Tom Emmer, Michelle Fishback and Jim Hagedorn – voted on Thursday to deny the U.S. House from holding political operative Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress. They have decided that the subpoena power of a coequal branch of government holds no weight in the Donald Trump world. They have decided that the January 6th insurrection is an event that no one will be held accountable for its planning and outcome. They have decided that the U.S. House will have no oversight role. Thankfully there were more assertive and patriotic representatives who overrode this cowardly vote, and Bannon will be held in contempt.

2022 is coming and these 4 cower behind their silence every day to allow the lies to continue about the election of 2020 that Donald Trump legitimately lost; I am ashamed they represent any voters of Minnesota. My representative Stauber, certainly does not represent the ethics that the 8th District voters care about.
