Letter to the Editor: Poverty in 5th District should be addressed

To the Editor:

Oh, the hypocrisy of it all. Our President Trump and his great unflinching supporter, our Congressional Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers, promote the repeal and replacement of Obamacare with a bill that would throw millions of American families, including babies, off their healthcare and give tax breaks to the rich. In addition, they want to prevent Syrian refugees, which include babies, from entering the country without extreme vetting on top of already stringent vetting. However, Trump points his finger at Assad for using chemical weapons on “beautiful babies,” which is used to justify Trump’s attack on Syria. By his actions, Trump along with Cathy McMorris Rodgers, neither care about American babies nor Syrian babies. It appears their big interest is to flex the military muscle that is available to them. What next from the present administration?
