Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi just lost my vote for the Illinois Democratic US Senate primary [View all]

One of 9 Democrats who voted with Republicans to hold the Clintons in contempt of Congress.

Mr.Krishnamoorthi:

Why would you give any credibility to the most partisan, corrupt Chairman in the House, James Comer (R) Bumpkiville KY? This is the man who ignores ALL TRUMP/GOP corruption and spent millions of our tax dollars investigating HUNTER BIDEN!

How could you vote to hold the Clintons in comtempt when, as they stated, the subpoenas are legally invalid?

Why can't House Democrats ever vote unanimously as a sign of unity against GOP Bull Shit?

If you want to be a US Senator so badly that you've sold your soul as to not offend downstate Red Republicans, who were never going to vote for you in the first place, I really question your moral compass. Do you really think 9 months from now a voter will say, "Naw, I won't vote for Raja because he voted NOT to hold the Clintons in contempt."

If you are only relying on the advice of Skippy your DC pollster/advisor, maybe you so make your own decisions.

I will hold my nose and vote for you in the general election over any Republican if you are the nominee (maybe that is part of your calculus) but you've lost my confidence as an elected leader.
