As with him at [email protected]. even if that behavior comes from someone we support. For instance, there is nothing right about the leader of the free world standing at a podium to mock anyone — not a veteran, not someone with a handicap, not someone who disagrees with him, and not someone who is alleged to be a sexual assault victim. Whether we like President Trump or not, whether we support his Republican philoso- phy or not, we should be able to see beyond those things to acknowledge when he does something that is, at the best, a poor example and, at the worst, a detriment to the state of our country. That type of behavior, which often works his most ardent supporters into a hate-filled frenzy, does nothing to unite us as Americans. The same can be said of Democratic mem- bers of Congress who seemed to have latched onto possible sexual assault victims, using them as their sword of valour, professing to be their defenders when, in truth, they withheld information far too long for their own personal party gain. It’s reprehensible behavior from men and women who we have chosen to represent our states and, thus, our nation. Just as reprehensible is the rush to appoint Brett Kavanaugh to a Supreme Court seat simply so we can say we have a conservative on the court. Republicans should be just as appalled at their representatives and senators as they are with Democrats across the aisle, all who are acting like petulant children bent on having their way no matter what the truth might actually be.
