Letter: Poor excuses for Americans

(J. Scott Applewhite | AP file photo) Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, leaves a Republican lunch meeting at the Capitol in Washington, Thursday, March 14, 2019.

I’m a Republican, and I wonder, with all of our “great, wonderful” LDS federal congressmen and senators from Utah, how they’ll explain their attitudes, lying, support and their votes to not impeach Donald Trump when they stand before the Savior and are held accountable for their actions and are judged?

How will they justify voting for their party rather than their country, its people and our divinely inspired Constitution that they’ve all sworn to uphold and protect, then didn’t because they’d all rather be reelected than do what’s right for our nation? Or because one of them has visions of being nominated to be a justice on the Supreme Court of the United States?

They’re all arrogant, self-serving, “party before country,” poor excuses for Americans. Patriots they’re not.

Conscience and morals obviously have no place in politics.

Paul Hart, Sandy
