When the Righteous Stay Silent — The Book of Mormon Has a Word for That.

To: Rep. Maloy, Sen. Lee, Sen. Curtis

From: A constituent in Salt Lake City, UT

November 16

I’m exhausted by the double standards and the silence. Between Signal-gate, the undisclosed communications, and the contract for Kristi Noem’s vanity commercials being steered to the DHS PAO’s husband, the corruption is no longer subtle. These aren’t minor ethics lapses — they’re violations that would have ended my federal career in handcuffs before lunch. Meanwhile, you warn about “out-of-control spending” while millions are burned on self-promotion and political branding. Al Franken resigned over an accusation; your colleagues cling to office through scandals that would destroy anyone outside your political bubble. Accountability has become a foreign language, and your refusal to confront it tells the public exactly where your loyalties lie. I’m not writing because I think you’ll suddenly change course. I’m writing to put you on record. When the next scandal breaks — and you know it will — you won’t get to pretend no one called you to act with integrity. And since you both openly claim the faith of the Latter-day Saints, I’ll end with this: the Book of Mormon is crystal-clear about leaders who justify wickedness, protect corruption, and place power above principle. Judgment day — the spiritual one you profess to believe in — doesn’t end well for those who trade righteousness for convenience. You know the doctrine. Act like it.
