Printing the wisdom

Letter to the Editor, Thank you for printing the wisdom of Senator (Markwayne) Mullin about (Donald J.) Trump.

He (Trump) has been convicted of sexually assaulting a woman, charged with inciting the riot at Washington (remember the photo of Mullin hunkered down from rioters), keeping classified documents and fraudulently attempting to alter the election in Georgia. And, according to Mullin, he is and should be the Republican candidate for President.

(Mullin says) Trump is a friend because he took an interest in his son’s tragedy. Claims he even flew to California to see him. Trump’s history of caring about others suggests he may have dropped by when he was in California on business.

Claims Trump is being treated unfairly when he is being tried in the place where he is charged with committing crimes. Where else is he to be tried? (Mullin says) these venues are unfair because of Democrat majority. Following his logic an affirmed Democrat could not receive a fair trial in heavily republican dominated McIntosh County.

“Lock her up!” reference to Hillary Clinton’s other email. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, born in Oklahoma City and serving in New England, said her grandmother told her she was Cherokee. So, Trump says let’s call her “Hiawatha.” This kindergarten trash talker is the man we need to run our country?

It is people like Mullin who fuel the loyalty of Trump followers. Does he do it for our country or because he wants to stay a Senator?
