Stop being a hypocrite!

To: Rep. Baird, Sen. Young, Sen. Banks

From: A verified voter in West Lafayette, IN

May 12

If Joseph Biden had announced he was accepting a "flying palace" from ANY foreign government, you'd be spending every waking moment denouncing him and seeking impeachment under the Emoluments Clause. If Joseph Biden was scheduling dinners with people who spent millions of dollars buying cryptocurrency that personally benefited him, you would also be protesting the corruption and seeking impeachment. If Joseph Biden had announced a TV personality as a nominee for any important role in government, you would complain he was senile and making a mockery of the position. If Joseph Biden had his senior staff talking about revoking Habeas Corpus protections, you would be demanding that staff member be fired and you would issue press releases about the assault on democracy. If Biden was deporting refugees who faced death or torture in their native countries, but was welcoming white supremacists from South Africa, you would be issuing statements about the obvious racism. In addition, there are the ongoing violations of the Impoundment Act, abrogation of Senate-confirmed treaties and trade agreements, and violating court orders. These are simply a few of the most recent items in the news. Instead of Joe Biden doing these things, it is Donald Trump. And you are silent. It is clear YOU approve of and embrace illegal, immoral behavior if it is someone in your political party. It is evident to any of us paying attention. You should be deeply ashamed of yourself. These are not Hoosier values. This is not moral or right. Represent your constituents and honor your oath of office. Grow a spine. Stop being a rubber stamp for immoral, illegal acts, and DO YOUR JOB!
