Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman ✔ @RepBonnie ​ ​ For a Congress so full of men, it's incredible that we don't have the balls to check a president that: asks aides to violate protocol and law; praises dictators from Russia to the Philippines; and torpedos relationships with our allies. 9:58 PM - Aug 22, 2018 “Sadly, my opponent is once again fanning flames of discord rather than doing her job of representing the hard-working people in New Jersey’s 12th District,” Kipnis said. “She would rather spend her time grandstanding and demonizing her political opponents and our president than helping to make the lives of her constituents any better as they struggle to survive in a state that her party is driving into the ground with Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy.” “On one hand, she constantly condemns the president for his use of social media and the tone he uses, while at the same time, she is doing the exact same thing,” he said. “While she calls out President Trump for every conceivable ‘wrong’ she and the Democrats can come up with at the spur of the moment, she turns a blind eye to the proven corruption she and other Democrats, like U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, have wrought on New Jersey. Many of her donors, supporters, and ‘friends’ have been convicted of real crimes in the state, padding their pockets with ill-gotten gains during their supposed ‘public service’ while Trenton residents fight to drink clean water, and avoid bullets fired from illegal guns by the criminals that have flooded that city’s streets for years.” “My opponent accuses the president of ‘comforting Nazis’, yet neither she nor Gov. Phil Murphy, her good friend and former U.S. Ambassador to Germany, can explain why Jakiw Palij, the last remaining Nazi war criminal residing in the United States, was permitted to live in the comfort of his home in Queens for years, until the proactive Trump administration finally deported him this week,” he said. @RepBonnie ​ If making a mockery of the emoluments clause wasn't enough; if comforting confederates and nazis wasn't enough; if rampant racism, collaborating with Russians, and being implicated in federal elections crimes wasn't enough, then WHAT IS ENOUGH for Congress to act? 3:58 PM - 22 Aug 2018 “Sometimes, the only place you should look to weed out graft and corruption, is in your own mirror,” Kipnis said. “It’s hard to take such blustering seriously from someone who cannot keep her own house in order. We need to have someone in Washington, D.C. that is serious about the business of the people in this district and is working daily to see that their best interests are being heard in our nation’s capital. That is exactly what I intend on doing when I go to congress and what I will continue to do for as long as I serve the citizens of New Jersey’s 12th District.” Links: https://twitter.com/RepBonnie/status/1032447014448115713 https://twitter.com/RepBonnie/status/1032447016801120256 ### If you would like more information about this topic, please call Charles W.
