Rep. Suzan DelBene should have stood for heroes

For the first time in my 75 years, I am embarrassed to be represented by someone in Congress who did not stand for a 13-year-old cancer survivor or a young man appointed to West Point during President Trump’s address to Congress.

How about a 95-year-old mother who had her son returned from prison in Russia? Rep. Suzan DelBene does not deserve to represent the 1st Congressional District in Congress. She even voted against the Laken Riley Act which would turn illegal aliens accused of crimes over for deportation and she supports transgender men competing against women.

How can she support criminal aliens and men disenfranchising women? She obviously can’t think for herself, she follows orders from the Democratic Party. She is rich but she must go.
