Pot calls kettle black

Mike Pence’s recent visit to Little Rock to support French Hill, and Trump’s visit to Missouri to bash Democrat Claire McCaskill, remind me of a saying—beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Pence says he is here and stands with Donald Trump, and we stand with French Hill. Lackeys Tom Cotton, Leslie Rutledge, Tim Griffin, and Asa Hutchinson were there to support Pence, Trump and French Hill. I haven’t seen anything Hill, Pence, Trump, these lackeys, and other members of the Arkansas delegation (Boozman, Crawford, Westerman, and Womack) have done to help poor and hardworking people of Arkansas. All it seems they care about is voting the party line, what Trump tells them to do, and getting re-elected. Among other unscrupulous things, they have given very large tax cuts to the wealthy people and corporations of this country, while giving nothing except maybe a tiny crumb to poor and hardworking people (in both parties).

Trump embarrassed himself and the country again by lying to the people of Missouri—ranting that the “Democrat Party” is “crazy,” stands for massive crime, massive taxes, dismantling law enforcement, and so forth. He sounds like the pot calling the kettle black!

Yes—let’s “drain the swamp.” Vote to send every Democrat on the ballot to Washington and to Little Rock. This country is in real trouble if your vote can be influenced by either Trump or Pence. They are very dangerous people. There are a few good Republican lawmakers, but Trump has turned most into acquiescent, spineless swamp creatures.

Clarke Tucker stands for the people of Arkansas and will represent his district and all people of Arkansas. (I’m a former Republican and would vote for him if I could.)
