I admit it. I am a one-issue voter. My issue is whether Congressman Mike Lawler supports former President Trump’s lies.

Does Mike Lawler support a candidate for President of the United States who lies about dead people voting, about fraudulent mail-in ballots, about votes illegally counted, not counted at all or invented? Since 2020, Trump has conditioned millions of Americans to see democracy as a failing system, and to view elections as an inferior and unreliable way to choose leaders.

Does Mike Lawler support a candidate for President of the United States, who spews propaganda – some of which he connects to immigrants – about the federal response to the disaster Hurricane Helene left in its wake?

Does Mike Lawler support a candidate who lies about legally documented Haitian immigrants eating their neighbors’ cats and dogs?

Does Mike Lawler support a candidate for President of the United States who lies about “13,000 illegal alien murderers” that the Biden-Harris administration “allowed to come in.” This lie being just another shameful example of Trump’s weaponizing government data on immigrants to mislead Americans.

If Congressman Lawler does not support Trump’s propaganda, it is his moral and ethical responsibility regarding his oath of office “to support and defend the Constitution” to use his influential, wide-reaching platform, especially during his frequent media appearances, to debunk the lies. Otherwise, I cannot in good conscience vote to re-elect Mike Lawler.
