Yep. The House investigated Hunter Biden, a private citizen, endlessly and never found his bad behavior influencing President Biden. But the investigation of Matt Gaetz, a congressman, was held behind closed doors, probably never to be revealed.
All four Iowa US Congress members are profiles in cowardice, terrified of being primaried.
Thanks, Barry. Well said. Our representatives in Congress represent no one but themselves. Their cowardice is discouraging, but predictable in the MAGA time we live in. It makes the loss of Jim Leach and his like, ever more poignant.
Thank you! We sure are. I have an idea the hypocrisy and political cowardice is going to start arriving in even bigger waves than before after January 20, 2025.
We should have voted for something better than these people and this kind of mess. Perhaps when we become like Kansas in the next two years (or even worse) people will wake up?

Absolutely, Chris.

Congressman Leach’s passing at this moment really is a metaphor for what we have lost politically, and how Iowa politics has changed.
IOWA's congressional representatives are a "cowardly & spineless" bad joke. We will not soon vote again for a Republican candidate.
Yes! It is really astounding to me, what they are doing.
Thank you for exposing and amplifying this hypocrisy Barry! We're going to need more and more of this as the months go on.

Yes. Iowans definitely need to do better, too. In the voting booth.
Thanks Barry. Why aren't our Iowa Democratic leaders talking about this?
Goid question, Ralph. Look for a column on this in the new year here.
