Mike Rogers is the Congressman for Alabama District 3. I’m in 2, but right on the border. Rogers represents Auburn (high tech and university town) and Northward (very hilly and redneck), but includes Tuskegee (black).
We got some weird districts.
Shortly after the 2020 election, Rogers joined a case before the Supreme Court calling for all the votes for president in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — states that were stolen by the democrats. On January 6, 2021 in the hours after the riot at the Capitol, Rogers voted to reject the state-certified election results of Arizona and Pennsylvania, which should have changed the outcome of the election.
He’s not a RINO, but was promised the chair of the Armed Services committee by McCarthy, and there on the floor it looks like McCarthy turned and gave it to Gaetz to get his vote...
Rogers’ fury at Gaetz was purely a politician’s self-interest.
