I am calling for all liberals to say a silent prayer for Jason Chaffetz. Apparently since October he has only seen the back of his daughter’s head. We all remember the famous Access Hollywood tape of Donald Trump’s instructional video on how celebrities can get away with sexual assault. Following that heinous confession of personal misconduct, Utah Republican Jason Chaffetz said he discussed the incident with his wife and could not look his 15 year-old daughter in the eye if he endorsed Donald Trump www.cnn.com/....
Just yesterday, President-elect Trump, on the birthday of inarguably the most famous civil rights leader [Martin Luther King Jr.] in American history, attacked John Lewis as, “all talk, talk, talk- no action, no results.” I suggest Mr. Trump read the history of John Lewis’ life and peruse the current crime and economic statistics of Mr. Lewis’ congressional district in Georgia www.politifact.com/.... Representative Lewis has literally shed his blood so that I can vote. No man is perfect and few men are virtuous, Mr. Lewis is a man of virtue. In March of 1974, I filled two important obligations, first I registered for conscription at the post office and secondly, I went to the District Building in Washington DC to register to vote.
A long list of both Black and White men made that possible and the blood of John Lewis and countless other African American men and women were mixed in the ink filled pens I used to signed the documents of my participation.
Rep. Chaffetz investigated Planned Parenthood in 2015 accusing them of misusing federal funds with no finding of wrongdoing www.salon.com/... he accused President Obama of a Benghazi cover-up back in 2013, eight hearings later, no wrongdoing www.opposingviews.com/.... Mr. Chaffetz has talked a lot about morals and accountability but video and audio evidence of Mr. Trump can be dismissed for political expediency. Even his cozy snuggle with Vladimir Putin is a, ‘wait and see’ for Chaffetz. Agonizingly at the end of this week Donald Trump, a man who Chaffetz has said he voted for, will either be inaugurated by the American public or installed by Vladimir Putin as many believe. Congressman Lewis, who stood with, ran with and repeatedly risk his life with, Dr. King, was challenged by Donald Trump for his integrity. As ridiculous a notion as that may be, it shows the lack of mental progress by many in this country when it comes to race relations.
The state of Mississippi tried hard to insult Dr. King by lumping his holiday with Robert E. Lee and calling it, “Great Americans Day.” Pretending that it was an honor, it was really a weak attempt at ignoring the man and keeping the barbecue, a day off work and Southern legacy. Maybe Chaffetz, like many of his ilk, are not ashamed of immorality but are more ashamed of their customized support of it. Look into your daughter’s eyes Congressman Chaffetz, maybe you will see the light.
Vote 2018, it’s not too late!
