To the editor: Look, up within the sky! It’s a chook, it’s a aircraft — but it surely certain ain’t the heroic imaginative and prescient of Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Lengthy Seashore), upon whom columnist Anita Chabria lavished reward in her current article (“What this previously undocumented congressman understands about patriotism that Trump doesn’t,” July 7).
The place’s the actual Robert Garcia? On political speak reveals, doing what he does greatest: speaking. When requested concerning the authorities’s harassment of immigrants, he publicizes such perceptive insights as “we’ve got to do one thing” and “everyone ought to oppose it” whereas effecting no motion, celebrating his ardour for the apparent.
As one in every of Garcia’s constituents, I and my Lengthy Seashore small enterprise suffered drastically underneath his unresponsive mayorship. Like President Trump, Garcia — founding father of the Lengthy Seashore Younger Republicans — switches events seemingly when it’s politically advantageous. And like Trump, his sound and fury signify nothing.
Merry Colvin, Lengthy Seashore
