Ehrnstein letter: Donald Trump
What country am I in? Seven months ago, my country did not condone Nazis, neo-Nazis, KKK and white supremacy, nor bigotry or violence. The president did not publicly attack or shame his staff. If a group had a permit, no violence was tolerated from them, permit or no. Am I now in danger because the idiot in the White House is a bigot and a bully? I sure feel like it. It took the Toddler in Chief two days to condemn the acts of bigotry and violence by white supremacists in Charlottesville, but he still continues to blame both sides.
OK, you did not want Clinton. Fine with me, but if this is what has become of the Republican Party, the party that holds the White House, Senate and House, I think I may need a new country, because I am no longer welcome in this one if the Nazis and KKK make further gains. Sad.
