Obama selling lies at funeral

Dear Editor:

I was watching the news tonight and was absolutely sickened by former United States President Barack Obama’s speech at John Lewis’s funeral today. He took away from remembering a great civil rights leader, a brave man who marched the Edmund Pettus Bridge from Selma to Montgomery and took a baton on the head for his beliefs. He also walked with the late Dr. Martin Luther King.

He served the American people for many years as a great political leader for the Democratic party and at his service, former president Barrack Obama took the stage to sell a lie to all who were listening, and I’m sure there were millions online and TV. He said recently, in Portland, government troops are arresting “mostly peaceful protesters.” If you have seen the “mostly peaceful protest” in Portland you know that’s not entirely accurate, It looks like a war zone. Almost like the siege at Khe San in Vietnam back in 1968. There are Molotov cocktails, lasers being shot into officers’ eyes, fireworks and rocks thrown. There is no such thing as a peaceful protest in Portland. As I am writing this letter, the news just had a breaking report: Antifa stabbed a reporter in Portland; fortunately he lived. He was a black reporter being stabbed at a Black Lives Matter “mostly peaceful” protest.

The real deal in Portland (Chicago and Minneapolis) is there is lawlessness and mayhem. The President tries to help and is beat up for doing so because it’s against the constitution. Apparently in the United States a mayor has to ask for help.

It’s a sad state of affairs on a day a great man was put to rest, these very ideals he fought for, took a police baton on the head for, and served our American friends. Shame on Barack Obama for electioneering at Lewis’s funeral. Shame on the American Democrats. It’s vampire politics. Doug Rosen
