Lifelong Republican voter quits party by penning scathing viral letter to his Congressmen

https://occupydemocrats.com/2019/11/25/lifelong-republican-voter-quits-party-by-penning-scathing-viral-letter-to-his-congressmen/

In a tweet that has since gone viral, Hussey shared the letter he sent to his three Congressional representatives Senator Jerry Moran (R-KY), Senator Pat Roberts (R-KY), and Representative Sharice Davids (D-KY). In it, Hussey describes his utter disgust for the manner in which the GOP has debased itself for Trump, citing in particular the shameful behavior of Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee during the impeachment inquiry.

“To say I am disappointed would be an understatement,” the letter begins, setting the tone for the scathing missive to come. Hussey explains his background, which includes being a member of the Republican Party since he cast his first vote at age seventeen. He writes that for a long time he supported the GOP because he believed what they claimed about themselves. Namely, that the party stood for “limited government, fiscal responsibility, market based policies to address societal problems, strong national defense, and the support of free democracies around the world.” Clearly, Hussey no longer believes this farce.

The Senators and Representative are from Kansas not Kentucky as the article claims.
