Last Monday, the day before the Presidential Primary, Congresswoman Renee Ellmers spent the day campaigning and tweeting and posting photographs of herself (speaking at events) on Facebook then returned home to Dunn for the night.

Up in Washington, the same night, the House voted on a resolution condemning ISIS for committing genocide against Christians – which would seem to be an incontrovertible fact except for one hitch: Secretary of State John Kerry had said he had doubts about whether ISIS chopping off Christians heads met the legal definition of genocide.

Every member of Congress from North Carolina, Democrat and Republican, was in Washington that night to vote on the resolution – except Congresswoman Ellmers, who stayed in Dunn in order to return to the campaign trail the next morning, tweeting and posting pictures.
