“In order to better understand the basis for your opposition, I request that you provide … copies of any state-specific analyses, studies, or reports that you ordered, requested or relied on to inform your decision,” Cummings said in the letters

And when he gets a resounding answer of crickets, I hope Dem’s are smart enough to point that out in these last few months before midterms as often as possible.

I hope this issue helps to motivate black and hispanic turnout in competitive guv and sen races in states like North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Arkansas, Louisiana and especially Wisconsin.

I can answer the question.

They’d rather kill their own citizens and inflict incalculable suffering and misery than do anything to help the black man in the White House.

End of fucking story.

There is nothing based on fact in a Repugs mind - just to make sure Obama is a One-Term President - as hey were told to do by the “leaders”.

The truth is they declined help for their residents purely to Fuck You!!" to that black man in the white house. But they won’t actually say that. They then each some up some other uncoordinated shit to say that didn’t have “that ni**er” in it.

Cause 'Merica!
