Letter: A baseless attack on Rep. Ben McAdams
(Jeremy Harmon | Tribune file photo) Rep. Ben McAdams talks about legislation he introduced to study ozone levels during a news conference in Salt Lake City on Friday, October 11, 2019.
Open letter to Scott Miller and the Salt Lake County Republican Party:
Shame on you for your baseless attack on Rep. Ben McAdams. This impeachment hearing is all about fairness and due process. McAdams didn't write Article II of the U.S. Constitution, but he did vote to open the inquiry of Donald Trump's impeachment to all legislators and the public so fairness and right of representation can prevail.
I guess putting the testimony in full public view isn't desirable to your president and his followers. Continue to close your eyes and ears, but do not criticize the only Utah legislator with enough integrity to seek openness in this troubling process.
Is the inquiry somewhat political? Yes indeed. Just like Clinton's and Nixon's.
Gary Walton, South Jordan
