Wittman’s Trademark
I agree with the recent letter labeling Congressman Wittman as Trump’s enabler. In fact, I would go even further. Wittman’s silence on so many issues stands in sharp contrast to the tone of his emails flooding into peoples’ inboxes saying he represents us.
A large number of Wittman’s constituents are active duty or retired military. Yet when Trump belittles and ridicules those who go into the military, those who are wounded and those who lost their lives for this country, the congressman is silent.
When Trump said former Arizona Senator John McCain was a hero only because he got caught; I like people who don’t get caught. McCain was tortured and spent five years in a North Vietnamese prison. Now, more evidence of Trump ridiculing those who fought and died for this country, is emerging. And Wittman doesn’t call the President out for his remarks.
Don’t forget Wittman’s silence about Congressman Jim Jordan, the holier-than-thou Representative from Ohio. Jordan is embroiled in a sex scandal relating to his ignoring male students’ complaints about being assaulted by a team doctor at Ohio State. Several of the victims have said they reported the incidents to then-assistant wrestling coach Jordan, who did nothing to stop the molestations.
Jordan’s silence helped enable Dr. Strauss to continue sexually assault young men. I am a retired nurse and have seen the psychological damage sexual assaults can have on young men and women.
Enabling appears to be Wittman’s trademark—Wittman looks the other way and thereby enables people to get away with almost anything. I don’t want an enabler representing me.
