Letter was profound

How nice to see Gay White’s letter to the editor. As someone who worked full time for Frank in his last campaign, and flew or drove him and Gay almost every time they left Little Rock, I had the honor of getting to know them well, and appreciate their respect and admiration for the people of Arkansas, and for our great country. I believe it was John Brummett who, when asked to say something nice about Frank, said what a great person his wife was. I agree completely! I can only imagine the conflict she felt to speak up when so many Republicans (and friends) around her will not, and choose to “go along to get along.”

The “Republican” Party is gone. Patti Davis says, “My father, Ronald Reagan, would weep for America.” (Hint, no Donald Trump fan.) The “Art of the Deal” writer says he will leave the country out of fear if Trump is re-elected. Those around him in his first term—John Kelly, John Boltons, HR McMaster, Mark Milley, Cassidy Hutchinson—and so many more tell us what danger lies ahead. That’s not the peanut gallery, but those in the heat of the kitchen, the people Trump himself appointed.

Nancy Mace, R-S.C., told of being raped herself, and feeling shamed for it, then endorsed DJT, and explains it’s OK since he wasn’t convicted in a “criminal” court. Sen. Katie Britt changes a horrific story of rape that occurred in the 2000s in Mexico to try to make Joe Biden look bad, essentially abusing the victim again to make her case. The Trump-endorsed Republican nominee for governor in North Carolina is a Holocaust-denier.

It’s been like a bad dream. The gaslighting and projection have gotten so bad that obvious lies don’t matter. It makes what Gay wrote so much more profound. So, thank you, Gay; you brought a tear to my eyes.
