Iām sick and tired of a president who lies outrageously and incessantly ā an average of eight times a day ā claiming recently that there are riots in California and that a bill that passed the Senate 98 to 1 had āvery little Democrat support.ā
Iām sick and tired of a president who canāt be bothered to work hard and instead prefers to spend his time watching Fox News and acting like a Twitter troll.
And Iām sick and tired of Republicans who go along with Trump ā defending, abetting and imitating his egregious excesses.
Iām sick and tired of Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) acting like a caddie for the man he once denounced as a ākookā ā just this week, Graham endorsed Trumpās call for rescinding ābirthright citizenship,ā a kooky idea if ever there was one.
Iām sick and tired of House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.), who got his start in politics as a protege of the ābleeding-heart conservativeā Jack Kemp, refusing to call out Trumpās race-baiting.
Iām sick and tired of Republicans who once complained about the federal debt adding $113 billion to the debt just in fiscal year 2018.
Iām sick and tired of Republicans who once championed free trade refusing to stop Trump as he launches trade wars with all of our major trade partners.
Iām sick and tired of Republicans who not only refuse to investigate Trumpās alleged ethical violations but who also help him to obstruct justice by maligning the FBI, the special counsel and the Justice Department.
Most of all, Iām sick and tired of Republicans who feel that Trumpās blatant bigotry gives them license to do the same ā with Rep. Pete Olson (R-Tex.) denouncing his opponent as an āIndo-American carpetbagger,ā Florida gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis warning voters not to āmonkey this upā by electing his African American opponent, Rep. Duncan D. Hunter (R-Calif.) labeling his āPalestinian Mexicanā opponent a āsecurity riskā who is āworking to infiltrate Congress,ā and Rep.āSteve Chabot (R-Ohio) accusing his opponent, who is of Indian Tibetan heritage, of āselling out Americansā because he once worked at a law firm that settled terrorism-related cases against Libya.
If youāre sick and tired, too, here is what you can do. Vote for Democrats on Tuesday. For every office. Regardless of who they are. And I say that as a former Republican. Some Republicans in suburban districts may claim they arenāt for Trump. Donāt believe them. Whatever their private qualms, no Republicans have consistently held Trump to account. They are too scared that doing so will hurt their chances of reelection. If youāre as sick and tired as I am of being sick and tired about whatās going on, vote against all Republicans. Every single one. Thatās the only message they will understand
