I tried again

I wrote this to my Congressman. Ben Cline, 5th district representative to the United States congress: I have noticed that you rarely invoke Donald Trump’s name. You seem to support all of his policies but seem to think that you are insulated from his crude, immature, erratic, immoral, and illegal behavior. I believe that as you continue to support him and his policies, you are obligated to your constituents to comment on his behavior and justify your continued support. Specifically, I am referring to his shockingly boorish, racist, and childish post on Truth Social of the Obamas depicted as apes: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2026/feb/06/trump-barack-obama-michelle-truth-social-epstein-latest-news-updates We deserve to hear your justification for not addressing behavior like his childish AI generated videos and why it is to the benefit of your constituents to accept Donald Trump as a legitimate president considering his lack of judgement, maturity, and fitness of mind. Please make an announcement as to why you believe that he is fit to be president of the United States of America, and how you believe that this honorably represents your constituents? I got the "perfect" response. His staff addressed not one of my questions or comments thereby proving the point I made in my first and second sentences. See below: *********** Dear Mr. Bolgiano, Thank you for contacting my office regarding political speech and rhetoric. I appreciate hearing from you on this important matter. As you know, free speech in America is enshrined in our Constitution and forms the foundation of our government and society. All Americans have the right to express themselves and their viewpoints free from governmental interference or persecution. All voices contribute in a constitutional republic, and a healthy diversity of thought strengthens public discussion and can lead to sound policymaking. Since coming to Congress in 2019, I have also introduced or co-led nine pieces of legislation that have become law and are all bipartisan. I was the first Freshman Republican lawmaker to have a bill signed into law during the Democrat-led 116th Congress. In the 119th Congress I have introduced ten pieces of bipartisan legislation that are currently awaiting action on the House Floor. As a member of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, I work actively to address issues aimed at helping my constituents, from higher education to domestic violence prevention. Public engagement remains essential to the strength of our communities. I encourage my constituents to get involved in any way they can, whether that be volunteering in their communities, voicing opinions in discussions with friends or neighbors, or taking the time to educate themselves on issues that are the most important to them and their communities. Thank you again for contacting my office on this important topic. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of further assistance.
