LTE: U.S. Senate: Smiley's claims get the facts wrong
There are many reasons I will be supporting Sen. Patty Murray, but not limited to the fallacy based reasoning of Tiffany Smiley, who while denying that Biden won the election, seems to think that senators are police chiefs and mayors, and that the U.S. is the only country experiencing inflation, who incorrectly alleges that 87,000 new IRS hires will be harming taxpayers earning $70,000 or less, and who, if elected, obviously would rubber stamp GOP sponsored legislation such as an abortion ban and weakening Medicare and removing and/or lessening several health-related benefits, including the cost of insulin.
She also says 30 years in the Senate is long enough for Murray, but is silent on McConnells 37 years and counting.
Next, for those who are informed, it is no secret that for the GOP the means blatantly justify the results. They even admit it. The result is for the GOP to acquire legislative power, and the admitted means include supporting extremely unqualified GOP candidates.
While Smiley ends one of her many ads by naively saying she wont put up with it and shes going to change it, it would be extremely unlikely for a first term senator to have much influence, and similarly to be wonderwoman.
