Letter to the Editor: Overkill on Jaime Herrera Beutler

Posted

Every week, sometimes twice in a week, of the three issues of the newspaper you provide free publicity to Jaime Herrera Beutler. You have an article expressing her opinion along with a decade-old picture of her. Recently there were two such articles featuring her with her picture in one issue of the paper. They should be called political advertisements she has to pay for instead of reporting.

Enough is enough.

This has continued since February of 2021.

No amount of free publicity in your newspaper is going to make up for the fact Republican Herrera Beutler voted to impeach President Trump. She did this without due process of law, without following the U.S. Constitution and without any factual basis. It was totally without merit or substance. As a former government teacher and attorney, I can tell you that was an appalling miscarriage of justice. As an elected Republican official in Congress, she betrayed her party, the constituents who elected her, her country and her president.

No amount of positive spin after her vote to impeach President Trump is going to get Herrera Beutler reelected to the position of trust she has held and broken. I voted for her. I will not make that mistake again.



Jaime Herrera Beutler showed her true colors. And they were not red, white and blue.
