Letter: Let Cheney come to Illinois

In response to Don Lass' opinion piece printed on Aug. 27: Yes, I do hate Trump. According to your letter, I am entitled to my opinion for why I hate him.

His black heart is filled with hatred for anyone who contradicts him or challenges him in any way, shape or form. Why his sycophantic supporters adore him is completely beyond me.

On the other hand, I do like your idea of Liz Cheney moving to Illinois, although I cannot see her switching parties to become a Democrat, as she is solidly a Republican. What she did that was so offensive to her constituents in Wyoming, was to stand up for truth and to expose the events of Jan, 6 for what they were - an attempt by Trump and cohorts to steal the election from Biden. She did so, knowingly jeopardizing her career, but also confident in the knowledge that her head and heart were in the right place.

What she did was beyond admirable, and so, although I am a Democrat, I would welcome her presence in this state. I might even vote for her, knowing that her values are in complete contrast with the loathsome Trump's "values."
