Letter: Senator Tester's true colors

On September 28, 2018, Montana Senator Jon Tester announced that he was voting "no" for Judge Kavanaugh for Supreme Court Justice.

The FBI hasn't even started their investigation yet. A person is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Tester has already found him guilty.

His vote has nothing to do with Kavanaugh's innocence or guilt. He was appointed by Trump, so Tester is being an obstructionist and he is following Chuck Schumer's orders. If he goes against Schumer's orders, he could lose his place on a committee, then he would lose all the money from the lobbyists that he once said he would not take.

Jon Tester is up for re-election and is promising Montana the moon and stars if he is re-elected. But his strings are attached to Schumer and he will follow his every word just like he did for Harry Reid under the Obama administration. For eight years he stayed hidden, collected money from the lobbyists and danced when Harry said to.

Matt Rosendale may not be much better of a choice, but we need to give him a chance. We could get rid of him in 6 years if need be. Tester is hoping to pull the wool over our eyes. He should be fired for the false accusations against Ronny Jackson instead of being re-elected.
