Does a politician need to have any understanding of the issues being discussed? Rhetorical, you say! I think not.
While I was at the gym on 9/28, I was positioned with Fox News in front of me. Okay, even though I no longer watch Fox News on a regular basis, I can watch it for thirty minutes while on an exercycle. Fox was showing the House Oversight Committee’s hearings on the Biden Impeachment inquiry. What caught my attention was an angry female, Rep Summer Lee, spewing hate and discontent. Even though there was no sound, I could read the words that she was saying, and it was truly hate and discontent. The problem for me was that during her entire spiel she did not once mention Biden, impeachment, or the rule of law, even though she has a J.D from Howard Univ. With that J.D., I would think that she would understand the concept of impeachment, and the seriousness of the charges. However, during her allotted time she disjointedly talked about mothers and babies and how in the districts of certain Republican members of that same Oversight Committee bad things were going to happen.
Why would Rep Lee waste her allotted time talking about things which did not pertain to the issue at hand? Either she did not understand the topic being discussed, or she could not think of anything positive to say about Joe Biden. Maybe she is hoping that Kamala will take over when JB is found guilty.
A little background on Ms. Lee from Wikipedia. She is obviously a Democrat now, but had been a member of the Democratic Socialists of American, and in the last election she campaigned for Bernie Saunders … ‘nough said!
For me I really do not care what Summer Lee has to say … no me importa!
For the last year or so I was embarrassed by the conduct, and the appearance of John Fetterman, who also is an elected representative from Pennsylvania. “How embarrassing for Pennsylvania,” I thought many times.
However, Summer Lee is giving Fetterman a run for his money.
