Stop backing weak people. Wake up!

As a lifelong Republican, I’m thoroughly disgusted with those in office and those running, except for a few who are retiring. The Republican candidates for Tennessee governor and Mealy Mouse Fleischmann speak proudly of their “Christian values” while proudly supporting a person who:

› Is a bigot: Look at his statements on not letting people from s—-hole countries come into the U.S. without even giving them a chance. Just what does Lady Liberty stand for?

› Doesn’t regard family values: separating children from their parents and Stormy Daniels.

› Doesn’t care for middle America: tariffs/trade wars that only hurt our exports.

› Has taken our international diplomacy back to the dark ages: criticizes Canada, the EU, etc., but praises Russia and North Korea.

› Isn’t fit to lead our armed forces (I’m a veteran): He never served but had five deferments.

› Disregards the First Amendment: It is the press that keeps us in check.

I am not perfect and pray to my savior, Jesus Christ, for forgiveness and faith every day. Wake up people. This country is in trouble and if we keep supporting weak people, I’m afraid for our children.
