10. McClintock Is a Political Hack!

Ever since I had moved from Ohio to California's Central Valley nearly two years ago, first in Denair, and now in Turlock, I've been surprised by how conservative my district is, and how MAGA-Kool-Aid Tom McLintock is. I've written him three times expressing my concerns as a progessive constituent who is legitimately alarmed by Trump's repressive and working-class-unfriendly agenda. You can just imagine what his response was. Suffice to say, it sounded quite a bit like this tone-deaf op-ed of his.
