Because your representatives don't actually know what is important to their constituents without hearing about it.

The news says what is happening, not what you, in your district and state, care about.

How could any rep either not think any of this is important or not be actively involved? This is some of the craziest shit the US government has ever seen.

Obviously Democrat politicians will make noise over this, but Trump just won an election and the Republican may believe that this is what their voters want, or at least they don't really care about it. They may be unaware of how things are actually playing out.
