GOP senators dodge voters after backing Trump over the Constitution

Congress is out on recess this week. But three vulnerable GOP senators up for re-election in 2020 appear to be hiding from their constituents.

This week is a district work period for members of Congress — better known as a recess week, when lawmakers head home to meet with constituents and get a feel for what the voters who sent them to Capitol Hill want to see them work on in the nation's capital.

Yet three vulnerable Republican senators up for re-election in 2020, who just voted to ignore the Constitution and uphold Trump's fake national emergency, have no public events listed for constituents to attend, according to a review of senators' official websites, campaign websites and social media accounts.

They include Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), who at first came out strongly against Trump's national emergency declaration before fully capitulating to Trump and voting to uphold the emergency in an embarrassing flip-flop for the ages.

1. I don't understand what Tillis was thinking.

It makes no sense to me that he would write an op-ed piece criticizing the emergency declaration and then immediately turn around and vote for it.

2. He is as corrupt as the day is long, he has put party over country,

and he has always put that format into play.

He is enabling and packing the court with unqualified yes people to further harm the citizens of this country down the road, he just doesn't give a crap, pardon my expression..........................He is about as two faced as they come from these republican jerks.....................and everyone of the people that voted for this measure to empower a authoritarian little piss ant, that has a narcissistic ego problem should be voted out of office....................they are just as corrupt, they, first and foremost are to defend and protect the Constitution, and with this vote they failed that important litmus test.......................

I really hope that BLUE WAVE chapter TWO is in the works, because this society will not be able to handle this take-over by fascist's
