Ostensible senator from Ravalli County Jason Ellsworth was censured by his peers, the Montana Senate. Tell me why he was elected in the first place. Please, friends, tell me why Ravalli County Republicans supported this guy when he had already had to pay $600,000 in fines for stiffing innocent people in a fraud.
Are they so afraid of Democrats that they prop up a known fraudster for Senate? The Democrats have fielded good candidates year after year but our dear Republican friends just check the “R” box without thinking, without remembering that senators actually have a job to do where integrity matters. Makes me wonder where these voters stored their brains.
