To the Editor:
I must share my reaction to the Trump rally on Sunday. To say that I’m deeply offended is an understatement. Is there anyone who is reading this that isn’t also deeply offended? I’ve known who he is even before he went down that ludicrous golden escalator. He told us who he was when he claimed Obama wasn’t born in the United States. As if we hadn’t noticed his infidelities, his bizarre comments about his daughter, his treatment of the people who work for him, his bankruptcies. The list is endless. The man is disgusting.
I don’t know what anyone thinks they are getting from this man that they are willing to wave away his racism. He’s talking about our neighbors. Our friends. Our families. People who have come to this country and worked hard to create new lives for themselves and their families. They contribute to our economy and our lives.
For those who feel they don’t know enough about Kamala? I know one thing. She is not that. That’s all I need to know.
When you go to cast your ballot, ask yourself. What would Jesus do? Vote for the racist who wants to take revenge on anyone who opposes him? Or the woman who asks you to lift up, not punch down?
