PeterWelch hope you figured out the GOP is the party of the rich white boys. You are lucky you still are in office. There values are not inline with today’s needs. They come from a different era. Think of the needs of your constituents not the needs of the rich.

This is the United States of America There are TONS of sordid, horrid examples and policies official and unofficial, of how this government has and still treats its citizens like garbage in most respects and would love nothing better than to instigate a caste system as India has.
Why should he apologize for telling the truth Where in the Constitution does it state government employees have to work and not get paid?
As somebody who grew up in Vermont, I can confirm that we sometimes forget the South is actually a part of the US, and not some backwards foreign land.
Forgetfulness is white privilege. 💫
Quite the gaffe but I’m liking that he kept the original tweet up AND threaded the correction to it. The guy owned it. Doesn’t happen very often.
