Letter: Bishop wrong to call for identifying whistleblower

Published 12:00 am Saturday, November 16, 2019

Dan Bishop is a disgrace to North Carolina and to this nation.

He was just elected in September after the scandal in the 9th Congressional District. His very early action as a representative has been to attempt to name the whistleblower. News organizations, members of Congress and others who probably could have named this person have refrained. And for good reason,

Putting a name to this person could be a death sentence. And the name could be the wrong name.

Dan Bishop has quickly proven that he is dangerous.

As a resident of North Carolina, I am ashamed that my fellow citizens elected this man to Congress. I hope we will do better in the 2020 election.
