Before Nov. 2018 my congressman was Matt Cartwright. Rep. Cartwright is a member of a small group in the House of Representatives called the “Problem Solvers’ Caucus.” These are Democrats and Republicans who sit down together and actually try to make things better. In 2018, however, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court found the Congressional districts unfairly gerrymandered and redrew the lines. While the Court did an excellent job overall in drawing fair districts, a byproduct was that Carbon County is now in a Republican district. In 2018 that district, the 9th, elected Dan Meuser.
Meuser is NOT a member of the Problem Solvers’ Caucus. In fact, he echoes Trump in promoting hatred and hysteria. Today he wrote a column in the Morning Call about how the Democrats were harming the country with the impeachment hearings. Evidently Trump’s calls to foreign governments to destroy one of his political opponents is not a problem for Meuser.
Meuser goes on to say that the Democrats wanted a complete takeover of elections. He said this provided “false hope to their base, including those here illegally.” This is total crap, but it will alarm readers of the column who may not believe that a Congressman would lie. (Note that Meuser did not come out and say people here illegally would vote. He implied. He used innuendo.) The whole column is full of misleading statements or flat out lies, like the one that said the Mueller report “vindicated the president.”
He concludes his column saying the Democrats “are showing no regard for the Constitution.” This is another Trump trick. Accuse the other side of your own bad behavior.
It is people like Meuser, rich, unpatriotic, willing to sell this country out, who are tearing this country apart.
Those of you who are Facebook or whatever other social media sites you inhabit, feel free to spread this post. The more people who know the kind of person Meuser is, the more likely he will be defeated in 2020.
