Editor,
It is not a single person’s behavior that defines a group. Otherwise we might be concerned about the behavior of the English, Germans, Italians, Catholics, Mormons but if we are Christians we don’t do that. The ‘ol Trumpster is now going after the Somalis in Minnesota that have been under investigation and those indicted are going to trial. NOT ALL OF THEM! We should also be suspect of Americans who have been convicted or confessed to crimes. That would be the dude that allowed 40 tons of cocaine to go through Honduras then onto and then onto the US. And the 1500 Jan 6 hooligans that attacked the capital and its police force. Then the bitcoin creeps that Trump pardoned. Oh yes, it would also be Trump himself who has a criminal conviction plus a plethora of other corrupt behavior. But there’s more. It might be safe to include corporate CEOs who have conspired to poison us with cigarettes, opioids, lead from gasoline, and steal from us with unlawful and unethical business practices. Why would anyone vote for a Republican? Oh rats, we cannot forget this Epstein thing.
