Tenney’s support of Trump for president raises questions about her judgement

Editor:

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney’s endorsement of Mr. Trump raises some serious concerns about her character and judgement.

Mr. Trump is guilty of sexual abuse, in which the judge stated he was guilty of rape in general parlance. Furthermore, despite the fact that Mr. Trump stated he wants to be a dictator for only one day, he told a court that he believes the Presidency carries with it total and complete immunity.

When asked if that included ordering killing of his political opponents he answered yes. That is the kind of immunity Mr. Trump believes the Presidency carries and it is the kind of immunity Mr. Trump wants; it is the immunity of a dictator and a criminal. And it is the type of Presidency Mr. Trump promises in his next administration. That is the administration Ms. Tenney endorses.

Ms. Tenney is co-chair of the “Election Integrity Caucus” which aims to restore confidence in our elections. Mr. Trump was indicted, after an investigation, of interfering in the 2020 elections. The indictment reads in part: “A conspiracy to defraud the United States by using dishonesty, fraud, and deceit to impair, obstruct, and defeat the lawful federal government function by which the results of the presidential election are collected, and certified by the federal government.”

Ms. Tenney’s endorsement shows the hypocrisy of her caucus. Her endorsement of a sexual abuser shows her lack of character, and her endorsement of an individual who wants to be a dictator shows her lack of judgement.
