Barr, show some empathy

U.S. Rep. Andy Barr seems to have a complete lack of empathy for his fellow humans. His vote for Trumpcare indicates that,because actions speak the truth when they are different from words. If Barr believes in God, which seems highly unlikely, how does he expect to be judged when it is clear he does not care about other humans?

I challenge Barr to respond directly to the Herald-Leader explaining how he does have empathy. I challenge the Herald-Leader to publish his response. I will take the lack of a response as Barr’s agreement that he has no empathy.
