Video: Comstock Under Siege for Her Tax Bill Vote

Cross posted from Dump Comstock

It seems that Barbara Comstock learned nothing from the massive electoral wipeout in November. The other possibility, is that she knows she’s doomed and she wants to go out in a blaze of right wing glory. Either way, her recent vote in favor of Trump’s tax scam is not going over well in her district.

On Tuesday there was a massive protest outside of Barbara Comstock’s office on Capitol Hill.

Comstock’s usual strategy is to quietly vote the conservative agenda without attracting too much attention. That’s why it’s important that the resistance expose Comstock’s complicity in implementing the Trump agenda. Local grassroots efforts are paying off with increasing national attention being focused on Comstock.
