Trump 'attack' an unfair spin to headline

The Daily Herald demonstrated a glaring bias and racially divisive approach that I found to be professionally appalling in its slanted page one headline, "Trump attacks black leader" in the Jan. 15 edition.

Donald Trump did not attack Congressman Lewis; he responded to an unprecedented attack by Lewis on him. Our congressional leaders should be working with the new administration not attacking it.

Lewis, Clinton and the Democrats, upon losing the election have been quick to blame, the Russians, FBI Director Comey and even our electoral process for their loss in the last election. Even the Daily Herald jumps on board citing the popular vote that went Clinton's way while saying nothing about the huge electoral vote that went Trump's way.

This underscores the Democratic Party's attempt, aided and abetted by our press, to detract and deflect from the real issue that President Obama, Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Party and most of the media, were totally out of touch with mainstream America and now are looking for scapegoats and excuses.

How many states did Trump win? This point and the significant electoral vote win by Donald Trump was conveniently left out of the article. I believe it is shameful for the Daily Herald to spin Trump's remarks as an "attack on a black leader." How disappointedly slanted a spin this was. If a white congressman took the position that Congressman Lewis took following either one of President Obama's election wins, they would have been slammed as a racist, right-wing extremist and run out of office.

We need to stop all this divisive rhetoric and focus on making our country great again.
