Inexcusably divisive

Posted April 21, 2020 1:00 am

LIBERATE MICHIGAN! LIBERATE MINNESOTA! LIBERATE VIRGINIA!

These are the words of the President of the United States to the people of the United States during a global pandemic and domestic health crisis that he, himself, has declared a national emergency. At a time when the people of this country desperately need guidance and leadership to inspire and encourage everyone to participate in a common cause for the greater good of all, his inflammatory words have deliberately endorsed the exact opposite sentiment.

It is unacceptable, unconscionable and inexcusable. At this perilous time, if we accept as the new normal this behavior from the chief executive of our country, then we must accept the reality that we truly deserve the leadership we currently have.
