David R. Irvine: An open letter to Rep. Chris Stewart, who never responds but expects campaign contributions anyway

I recently received your Feb. 2 email which announced, “BREAKING: House Intel Committee Releases Memo.” This “breaking news” message about the Nunes Memo was issued on your campaign letterhead and, at the end, you wrote, “David, we cannot let Democrats undermine the importance of this memo. Stand with me to uphold the Constitution and conservative values in 2018.” This line was linked to your solicitation for a campaign contribution.

Whoa! I’m puzzled. First, by immediately turning your chairman’s memo into a campaign fundraising tool, you undermined its significance by showing it to be a two-bit political stunt.
