To the editor: So, former President Trump prompt that former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) should face multiple guns aimed at her face? I’m not shocked that an individual infamous for dishonest and mendacity must resort to simple-minded threats when unable to make use of the language abilities he clearly lacks.
Moreover, he needs to be cautious. As we now have seen, advocating violence tends to carry it again to you.

To the editor: For many who agree with the phrasing utilized by Trump in his criticism of Cheney as a result of her being a “radical warfare hawk,” please inform us how these identical feedback don’t apply on an excellent better scale to his ally, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).
No, it’s not a gotcha query for individuals who know something about quite a few statements made by Graham concerning his enthusiasm for projecting our navy energy overseas.
That’s to not say sure Trump supporters wouldn’t discover it difficult to sound remotely rational explaining away one other appalling remark by their chief.

To the editor: The most recent assault on Cheney is simply one other instance of how quickly Trump’s frame of mind has spiraled uncontrolled. His Oct. 27 rally at Madison Sq. Backyard in New York shortly devolved right into a profanity-laced, racist, name-calling spectacle.
The truth that a couple of Republicans broke ranks this election was encouraging, however the overwhelming majority nonetheless stood in lockstep with their nominee. The GOP has been decreased to a cesspool of power-hungry politicians bent on spreading their message of racism and hate.
