Racist WH and GOP

Dear editor:

In the face of today’s racist, hateful remarks coming from the White House and GOP members of the House and Senate, I offer the following from three great American Republican Presidents.

Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionaries and rebels—men and women who dared to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower

To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Theodore Roosevelt

Anybody from any corner of the world can come to America to live and become an American. We draw our people, our strength, from every country and every corner of the world.' 
Ronald Reagan

Look how far we have dropped in civility.
