Our rapid response team is on it
Hi from Wittman Watch HQ! 👋
Coming next week: We’re preparing to launch a brand new series of posts. Look for it on Tuesday! Today, instead of our usual deep-dive, we have a recap of social media highlights from the last couple of weeks. Facebook, BlueSky, and Instagram allow us to respond rapidly to whatever Wittman is doing, saying, or voting about, and as always, it’s been a lot!
Our Substack has been busy as usual:
Last Thursday we showed you how Wittman uses immigration as a political wedge - without ever trying to do anything to solve the real immigration problems that do exist - to divide our district and fool people into voting for him.
On Tuesday we wrapped up our “Myth of the Week” series by examining Wittman’s record as a public health professional in the legislature. Shocker: he votes with his party and almost never with the scientific consensus.
Now, here’s a sampling of rapid-response items from our socials that you may have missed. We embed links to BlueSky here because they’re viewable without a login; you can also find them on Facebook and Instagram.
Wittman predictably silent on the largest, most brazen Presidential corruption in US history
The $1.776 billion “settlement fund” (it’s not a settlement) is illegal, unconstitutional, and a moral outrage, and it’s not even remotely questionable. There is absolutely no doubt that this is cause for impeachment of Trump and everyone who has enabled it. It is cut-and-dried theft from the American people, right in front of us, in the open. And Rob Wittman has said not one damn word about it. So we suggest that we all do something about it!
June 6th Candidate Forum in Williamsburg
The Democratic primary is probably the most important next step on the road to ridding our district of Rob Wittman. While our recent post described each of the seven candidates (plus one more who has since dropped out), hearing from each of them in person will help all of us decide who’ll get our vote.
Other forums are being held, including today in Richmond, but the June 6th event will have at least six of the seven in attendance.
Doing nothing, taking credit
Plenty of us in VA-01 understand the stakes
Don’t forget: HR1’s biggest cuts haven’t even kicked in yet - but they soon will
Rob profits as Virginia’s largest utility approaches monopoly status
Wittman is a rubber stamp for all of Trump’s crazy
Wittman could vote to stop the Iran war but instead wraps himself in the flag while ignoring the needs of our military
Wittman applauded himself for receiving a “Champion of Science” award but his voting record doesn’t match this title. At all!
