I would like to commend Steve Harmsen ("Herbert available to all voters," May 20) for his explanation of our governor's comments on access. This justification is amazing, shall I say unbelievable.

However, with his powers of persuasion and political insight, maybe he could help us understand our other GOP leaders. How can our congressional leadership support Trump? Specifically how can Congressman Chris Stewart make a valid comparison of Trump to Mussolini one week and then after his nomination say he will support him?

Politics, money and hypocrisy make for a bitter cocktail in our one-party state. I need a beer chaser, even if it is just 3.2.
