Equally damaging, Trump targets only those people who have been critical of him. So Trump has now politicized national security operations, ruptured relations between the civil and military/intelligence arms of our government, and caused around 200 former senior intelligence and military officials (from all political parties) to unite in condemning his actions.

And what do we hear from Scott Tipton and Corey Gardner, men who have sworn to uphold the Constitution? Essentially nothing. These men are interested only in two things: not offending Donald Trump and holding on to their positions in government. Confronted with unprecedented and vicious attacks on free speech, much less the weakening of our national security operations, they are silent. Neither deserves to represent us, and voters should take the opportunity in November to take the action Tipton richly deserves – turning him out of office.
