Party first

I must say that I don’t have a clue what bill Roni Strupat is referring to. They claim that I have my facts wrong. I think it is the other way around.

The Zika bill I was talking about funded Zika research by diverting funds from ebola research. It also defunded Planned Parenthood, the Affordable Care Act and even provided for allowing the Confederate flag to be flown on public property. There was no military spending provision.

The Republicans also admitted that the riders were all to further the Republican agenda.

Hopefully, this clarifies things enough to show Roni Strupat that Congressman Dave Reichert isn’t the paragon of virtue he thinks he is. He wad voting to promote his party and not the good of the country.
