Donald Trump and the Republicans are supporting an incompetent administration

One by one, Republicans lose credibility as they bow to Trump

Echo opinion letter published in New Orleans Times-Picayune (NOLAonline)

Before Donald Trump was running for president, a man asked my opinion of him. I looked to be sure there were no ladies present, and then I told him what I thought of a self-proclaimed billionaire whose employees had to sue him to get their wages.

The man asked if I was a Blue Dog Democrat, and I said I had been called a lot of things in my time. He explained that it was a man who would vote for a Blue Dog before he would vote for a Republican. I replied I probably was one, but I had once known a good Republican who was kin to me.

Thinking of our present elected leader, I can now say without contradiction why I felt that way. That was several years ago, and time has proven me right.

The ones in office now have their main purpose of pleasing Trump and going along. My congressional representative, Julia Letlow, talks about what she has brought to the district. Of course, she voted against all of it. Lying Clay Higgins swore in Congress that he had proof that the January 6the Capitol rioters 🤥were federal agents dressed up as Trump supporters, and he would bring out proof soon, very soon. That was quite a while ago, and Higgins has not come up with any proof.

The only one we had in elected office who could have finished as a statesman was Bill Cassidy. For some reason, he decided it was more important to please Trump than to take care of his constituents, so he gave us a former dopehead and antivaxxer for Health and Human Services secretary and a former drunk to head the military. As for Sen. "Cornpone" John Kennedy, we were lost from the start.
