Letter to the editor: President Donald Trump is no hypocrite? Let me count the ways
Best? No, worst
A Sunday letter writer suggested that because Joe Biden is a Catholic who supports abortion rights, he is a hypocrite. (20A) The author says that President Donald Trump isn’t a hypocrite, so he is the best choice in November. Biden has said that he is pro-life but believes Roe v. Wade should stand.
Someone who has cheated on all three of his wives yet clears protesters in a public place so he can have a photo op with a Bible is a hypocrite. Someone who berates a prisoner of war hero and other military service members, and who faked bone spurs to avoid going to Vietnam, yet says he loves “his” military, is a hypocrite. Someone who says he is pro-life yet holds maskless rallies and separates children from their parents is a hypocrite.
Perhaps the biggest hypocrisy is that this most lawless man — Trump University was sued and shut down; the Trump Foundation was shut down for fraud; he’s been credibly accused of cheating his workers, cheating on his taxes and assaulting many women — might get to select another Supreme Court justice.
The most vile president we’ve ever had isn’t worthy of selecting a dog catcher.
