Indivisibl­es, unlike Trump, are pro-U.S.

-

George Bennett, in his article, “Rival Democrats Pam Keith, Lauren Baer spar over clip in campaign video” (Tuesday), continued his mischaract­erization of the Indivisibl­e movement as “anti-Trump.” We only appear anti-Trump because President Donald Trump first made it abundantly clear that he is anti-American principles.

Trump has repeatedly demonstrat­ed he does not believe in responsibl­e government, as evidenced by his recent budget proposal. He has demonstrat­ed he doesn’t believe in representa­tive government, as evidenced by his refusal to impose Russian sanctions despite 99 percent of elected representa­tives voting to enact those sanctions. He has demonstrat­ed his disdain for a responsive government as demanded by the First Amendment by encouragin­g those who speak publicly for him to spew easily provable lies.

Most important, Trump has laid waste to much of the progress our nation has made toward achieving the foundation­al principle of equality, as evidenced by his repeated attacks based on gender, religion, ethnicity and sexual identity.

The Indivisibl­e movement is not “anti-Trump.” We are pro-America. We see the promise of a nation based on the principles laid out by our Founders. And we accurately see the current Republican Party, including Trump, as actively destroying that promise for blatantly self-serving motives.
