To Cliff Bentz — Glad to see you’ve got plenty of time to storm out of work and run interference for predators, but not a single minute to actually do the job taxpayers are funding. Must be exhausting being this committed to protecting your party’s image instead of protecting actual people. You swore an oath to serve the public, not to cover for colleagues with a taste for abusing power — and yet here you are, fighting tooth and nail to keep those files sealed. You’re working harder to hide names than you’ve ever worked for your constituents. People can’t help but wonder: are you guarding something, or just afraid yours might be in there too? While regular people are out here holding down real jobs and showing up even when it’s uncomfortable, you treat accountability like it’s optional. But here’s a reminder: your paycheck isn’t a donation — it’s stolen time from the people you refuse to serve. Show up. Do your job. And if you’re this terrified of transparency, maybe that’s exactly why we need it.
