Cathy McMorris Rodgers Still Defending Trump
After the violence in Charlotte incited by racist right-wing protestors and Trump’s inexcusable Tuesday press conference when he defended the white supremacists, it’s time for all of us to come together to oppose the kind of hateful violence that Trump’s rhetoric is encouraging.
Many Republicans have stated that they don’t support the racist protestors causing violence in Charlottesville, but they won’t say anything about how Trump’s rhetoric is supporting the white supremacist movement or his role in stoking the fires of that movement. Any Republican statement condemning racism that doesn’t also condemn Trump isn’t a statement that’s worth much.
Meanwhile, Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers is still reaffirming her strong support for Trump and his agenda. Watch the video of her comments here:
As McMorris Rodgers is still out supporting Trump despite his explicit support for the white supremacist movement, our chair Tina Podlodowski issued a strong statement calling on McMorris Rodgers to denounce Trump. You can read it here.
We encourage you to share the video and the statement on social media and Facebook!

Bannon Out at White House
With the firing of Steve Bannon at the White House, there is one fewer white supremacist in the White House, but that doesn’t change the man in the Oval Office. Donald Trump has spent decades fueling hate in communities, including his recent attempts to divide our country and defending white supremacists.
That’s why we’re going to keep on standing with leaders like Sen. Maria Cantwell, Gov. Jay Inslee, and our Democrats in Congress who are working to hold the Trump Administration accountable and defend the American values of equality and we hold so dear.
