To the Editor:
Americans are disgusted by trump’s cynical attempt to paint Minneapolis protesters as domestic terrorists.
This is the same president who pardoned the thousands of armed thugs who desecrated our Nation’s Capital, smeared feces on the walls, and killed police officers, while attempting to overturn the 2020 election.
Trump had the gall to say Alex Pretti should not have been carrying a gun, a gun that he had the legal right to carry, that was not being brandished, and was removed from his person before ICE murdered him. Even the NRA says trump is wrong.
Meanwhile back in January 6, 2020, those “patriots” trump pardoned carried firearms, tasers, body armor, knives, gas masks, restraints and threatened to murder elected officials, including the Vice President. Rioters also used “makeshift weapons” including destroyed office furniture, fencing and stolen riot shields.
In recent weeks ICE has murdered two innocent American citizens. Masked ICE thugs have dragged, tackled, beaten, and tased American citizens.
Who are the real domestic terrorists? The hypocrisy of this president is breathtaking.
These are the actions of a white nationalist fascist police state. This is not what Americans voted for.
