Dear Utah GOP voter: In case you have not been paying attention, recently Alabama rejected Roy “pedophile” Moore, and Doug Jones was elected to represent Alabama in the U.S. Senate instead. You may ask: Who cares? That’s Alabama.

Well, the GOP supported his candidacy. Donald Trump supported him. Ask your local GOP representatives if they supported him. Of course, the answer is “yes.” They are bound together, brothers in arms. And if you support your local GOP representative, you support child rape. Sorry to be blunt, but it’s so very true. When you push the “R” button, take a moment to reflect. Do you support child rape by old white guys? Because that is what you are advocating for when you vote GOP.

Alabama said “no.” Let’s see how Utah votes.

Oh, current news? The GOP is passing a $1.5 trillion additional hole in the federal deficit via tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy. Why? So the rich can get richer. Sorry CHIP, fund yourself. The GOP won’t even fund CHIP. Ask your local representative what will be cut to fund CHIP.
