We're Listening, GOP
Your “pResident” continues to make statements that are never explained, no less verified as fact.
As the leader of your party, we assume he speaks for all of you – and still we have yet to hear any corrections of the record when your “pResident’s” lies are proven to be just that.
Trump has said repeatedly that it’s the Democrats who colluded with the Russians. Thus far, we not have heard a single fact that bears this out, or even an anecdotal incident, communication, or meeting that could possibly be construed as indicative of collusion. Of course, the charge is ludicrous on its face – surely no one believes that the Democrats colluded with our enemies in order to lose the 2016 election. If you have an explanation for this, we’re listening.
Trump insists that unemployment numbers for blacks and Hispanics are going down due to his policies. Can you please explain why these numbers are falling at the same rate they have been for decades, and do not show any deviance from the downward trajectory they have been on since long before your “pResident” took office? If you can explain this, we’re listening.
Trump accused President Obama of “wiretapping” him at Trump Tower, a serious offence that would, if true, undermine our democracy. We have yet to hear an apology for making this baseless accusation. We understand that your “pResident” never apologizes for anything – but is your entire party too devoid of decency to apologize for these totally false allegations against our former President? If you have any explanation whatsoever for why you have remained silent on this issue, we’re listening.
Trump has now accused President Obama AND Secretary Hillary Clinton of directing the FBI to “infilitrate” his campaign by planting “spies” within their organization. After members of your party received a full briefing on the matter, we have only heard from Trey Gowdy that there is ZERO evidence of any such thing having occurred. If you have any reasonable excuse as to why you have not denounced this outrageous falsehood, we’re listening.
Your “pResident” has appointed cabinet members that are clearly inexperienced in the areas of government they now oversee, and have demonstrated their ignorance and ineptitude when questioned about their specific responsibilities. If you have any explanation as to why these personnel choices are appropriate and serve the interests of the country, we’re listening.
Your “pResident” has persisted in stating that the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election is a “hoax”, a “witch-hunt” aimed at undermining the legitimacy of his presidency. Our nation’s entire intelligence community has determined that the interference is a proven fact. If you know of any facts that support Trump’s assertions of the opposite being the case, we’re listening.
We understand why you don’t speak up every time your “pResident” lies to the American people, as you’d have to issue statements correcting his blatant falsehoods six times a day, on average. But surely you can explain why you never speak up at all, given the volume of lies that emanate from your “pResident’s” mouth on a daily basis. If you have a legitimate reason for NOT speaking out against the continuous litany of lies, we’re listening.
Trump has done, and continues to do, everything in his power to thwart Robert Mueller’s investigation into possible collusion between his administration and Russian operatives. If you know of any reason why a man who claims innocence of any wrongdoing in this regard would continue to act as only a guilty man would, we’re listening.
We couldn’t possibly be more interested in what you have to say on these matters. So please proceed, Republicans – we’re listening.
