Jo Mendoza – the Democratic candidate running for Congress in CD6 – blasted Trump and his stooge, Juan Ciscomani, for the illegal war in Iran.
Speaking at the April 11 meeting of the Tanque Verde Valley Democrats, she said, “The Administration lies about the war in Iran, makes extreme statements and uses rhetoric that is insane.”
“I know no one wins a war,” said the 20-year veteran of the Navy. “Everybody loses.”
“No one wants their loved ones coming back in coffins,” Mendoza said.
She pointed out that Congress did not authorize the war in Iran. Trump’s military adventure has resulted in 13 to 15 confirmed U.S. military deaths and more than 300 wounded. Iranian casualties exceed 2,000–3,000, including civilians.
CiscoMAGA hides away
Meanwhile, the smug and self-satisfied incumbent Congressman Juan Ciscomani, a Republican, rubber stamps Trump’s ravings and stays out of the public eye.
“Ciscomani has not held a public town hall in the last four years,” Mendoza said. “That’s not what leadership is. Leadership is ‘showing up.'”
“Ciscomani is not accessible unless you are a donor or from a Republican Club,” she said. Mendoza said that when she is elected, she will hold public “Congress in Your Community” town halls online and in person.
She said there are two kinds of Republicans. One is a Republican, John McCain, who believes in the rule of law. The other is “a MAGA who believes the country should be divided.”
Republican spy outed
Pathetically, Ciscomani sent a spy into the meeting, but he was immediately spotted. He claimed his name was “Fabian McInnes,” which is one of seven false names he uses to register for Mendoza’s talks.
“Fabian” claims he is doing “political research” by tracking Mendoza and reporting back to Ciscomani. If you spot this guy, call him out publicly and have him kicked out. Share this photo and be on the lookout for this sleazy informant.
Republicans are so desperate that they have Ciscomani hide like a roach in a crawl space, but they send out other cockroaches to attend Democratic meetings.
In situations like this, Mendoza says she watches Saturday Night Live to see the show make fun of Trump.
Mendoza will listen
In conclusion, Mendoza said, “I will be accessible; you will be able to talk to me. And I will listen.”
Her guidepost is the military Oath of Enlistment: “I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Today, the domestic enemies are in the White House.
“Join me in a fight for America,” Mendoza said. “It belongs to us – We the People. Call yourself a patriot, fly a flag and show you are a true American.”
