Letter: Cheerleading for the emperor

With the impeachment inquiry now underway in Congress, I’m appalled by the tribalism of the Republicans in Congress, including Rep. Chris Stewart and Sen. Mike Lee, who claims to be a constitutional scholar, and all their constituents who are defending and cheerleading for the exoneration of President Trump.

For three years, the Republican Congress, and their constituents, have remained blind, deaf and mute while our president abuses the emoluments clause calling it “phony” (where’s Utah’s constitutional scholar on this one), alters weather maps because he’s too narcissistic to admit a mistake, withdraws troops from Syria without notifying Congress or our Kurdish allies while embracing the dictatorship of Turkey’s Erdogan, therefore allowing the destruction of our Kurdish friends and bolstering Russia’s world dominance.
