I’m sick that anyone, let alone the President of the United States, would weaponize 9/11, even more so to target a Muslim Member of Congress for political gain. Beyond reckless and morally bankrupt.

After considering the articles and underlying evidence, I’ve concluded the President abused his power, put our national security at risk, and obstructed Congress. I will vote in the affirmative for both articles.

Nearly 3,000 treasured lives were taken on 9/11. They should never be turned into pawns on a political chess board. Nor should a fellow American and public servant’s life be placed in danger by those appealing to hate rooted in Islamophobia.
