An Open Letter

To: Rep. Smith, Sen. Hawley, Sen. Schmitt

From: A constituent in Festus, MO

October 29

While millions of Americans are going hungry, we find out today that the FBI Director used a government jet to travel to Pennsylvania in order to hear his girlfriend sing at a sporting event, then proceeded to Nashville, where said girlfriend resides. People are worried about how they're going to feed their families, federal workers going unpaid, and prices are skyrocketing but Kash Patel gets to take a joyride on our dime? If this was for official business, it would be understandable, but for the purpose described above, there is no excuse. Republicans always claimed to be the party of "fiscal responsibility" but lately it seems they are the party of "what can I get for me and my cronies?" Tax breaks, fancy dinners at the "Rose Garden Club" and swag bags aren't enough, we have to pay for private use air travel for people not even on the government payroll. Your party is tanking in the polls and at this rate, you can kiss your reliably safe red seats goodbye. Your highness, Trump, is not going to protect you, but is going to drag you down with him. Remember what happened in Germany in the 1940s? The cowards ran to Argentina. I guess you'd better brush up on your Spanish! Is that why Trump bailed them out and not his own people?
