Letter to the editor: Harpies of the apostasy

The biblical Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are pestilence, war, famine and death. There is a version in Congress that I term the Four Harpies of the Apostasy: Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio- Cortez, Ayanna Pressley and Ilhan Omar.

A harpy is a covetous, grasping person; apostasy is the desertion of one’s faith, party or principles.

Tlaib promoted T-shirts with an obscene slogan about impeaching President Trump. What a class act. Where is the castigation from the fake news?

Ocasio-Cortez stated that she fears if the country does not convert to a green economy within 12 years, we face extinction. She also thinks we need more organizers in government. We had a community organizer for eight years, and we saw what happened.

Pressley has introduced a bill to lower the voting age to 16. Why not lower it to 6? We could introduce a new “Dick and Jane” primer with revised wording: See Dick vote. Vote, Dick, vote. Dick, vote Democrat.

Omar described 9/11 as “somebody did something.” Nineteen Muslims flew planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field and were responsible for 2,977 deaths. There have been countless deaths and illnesses since, attributed to effluvium in New York. I agree: Somebody did something.

Three factions contribute to their lunacy: their constituencies, fellow legislators who take them seriously and fake news that fails to criticize their actions.

Their divisive actions have been a gift to the Republicans.
