Washington state Republican Senate candidate Tiffany Smiley called out her opponent, 30-year incumbent Sen. Patty Murray , for supporting school closures that forced learning loss and developmental issues on children.
Murray, who was given the first opportunity to answer, defended herself saying, “what I did from the first was to make sure that we had the funds to get to our schools to make sure that they could reopen safely.” Murray appeared to forget that Democrat-run school boards across the country were closing their doors, and it was the recommendation of the federal government for them to do so. Many pediatricians warned about the effects of such shutdowns.
