LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

GOP attacking American values

Sun, May 8, 2022 (2 a.m.)

I’ve never witnessed such vile attacks and threats to basic human rights.

It has been leaked that the Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade. What happened since 2016 that no longer makes Roe v. Wade precedence? Let women’s rights be damned.

No Republican senator will vote for the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Let the Preamble to the Constitution, which states that all men are created equal, be damned.

The name of Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, was found encrypted in the cellphone of the Oath Keepers’ leader, Stewart Rhodes, on Jan. 6, 2021, asking that the far-right, anti-government militia group to protect Jackson as he had “data” on the “project” (i.e., the insurrection).

We know Jackson is no truth teller, for as Trump’s former White House physician, he stated in a medical report that Trump weighed only 239 pounds. Further, Jackson had additional security for himself on the day of the insurrection — none other than one of Roger Stone’s security guards. Let democracy be damned.

We’ve now learned from Mark Esper, Trump’s defense secretary, that Trump wanted peaceful protesters shot in the legs. So if you wanted to support Ukraine and peace during a peaceful protest, you’d be shot. Let free speech and the First Amendment be damned.

I’ll be damned if I’m going to let the vile Trump and his Republican cronies govern this nation. Vote the vile out.
