23 Representatives--all Republicans--voted to keep Donald Trump's taxes secret. Of these 23 Representatives who voted to help Trump with his cover-up, 22 voted to allow YOUR ISP to sell YOUR browsing history. At the very least, those who voted to keep Trump's taxes secret while allowing ISPs to sell YOUR browsing history should be considered privacy hypocrites. Some may consider them enemies of the American people. Whether you consider them merely hypocrites or outright enemies, these philosophically contradictory votes should be used to smack these Representatives in the face again and again when they are up for reelection.
Here are the Republicans who voted against taking a look at Trump's taxes. Of the 23 who wanted to protect Trump's privacy, only Dave Reichert of Washington voted to allow you to keep your browsing history private. The figure in the right-most column is the amount of money each representative received in campaign contributions from the telecommunications industry (read ISPs) during the last election cycle.
