LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

GOP is a party of cowardly bullies

It is time to clean house, to get rid of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy; Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.; and Matt Gaetz, R-Fla.; and others who bow down to Donald Trump’s will and kiss his ring.

Republicans are making it harder for people to vote. McCarthy wants to retaliate for the removal of Greene and Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., from their committees because they were spreading false information on social media and threats against Democrats in office.

If Republicans reclaim the House majority, McCarthy will strip three Democrats from their committees. It took House Democrats to do his job and admonish the actions of his members.

The majority of Republicans are afraid of speaking out against Trump because he would retaliate and ruin their chance of reelection. McCarthy has no backbone to do what is right, so now the norm in his party is to issue threats and misinformation on social media.

If Republicans do retake the House, democracy as we know it will be a thing of the past. We should all call our senators, Republican or Democrat, and tell them to get the Voting Rights Act passed and fight Trump’s lies. Do we want to have a legitimate president, or a dictator like Trump wants to be? Let this country get back to being normal, as it was before all these lies were spread.
