Dear
Congressman,
Re: Do
Something
As Paul
Krugman notes in his NYT column yesterday, “even as much of the world
is questioning Trump’s fitness for office, the only people who could constrain
him are doing their best to place him above the rule of law.”
Have you read “Fire and Fury”? I have
admittedly read only extracts, and have heard others cited in news reports. And
I certainly hold no brief for the author, because I am in no position to judge
the veracity of what he writes. Two things, however: first, if only 20 percent
of what he writes is true, that’s quite enough to scare the pants off me—and
should be more than enough for Republicans to quit their unquestioning
adulation of Donald Trump. Second, as many others have pointed out, his stories
do no more than reinforce what has been widely reported about the chaos in the
Trump White House, and what he has made evident about his character in his impetuous
actions and his own reckless words.
For how much longer will you continue to join
your fellow Republicans in propping up this stumbling “genius”? Is this
patriotism? Is this the service you were elected to perform for your
constituents? Or is this nothing but partisan warfare, conducted on a
no-holds-barred basis?
I ask you, not for the first time, Congressman:
return to the real world in which the rest of us live. Recognize what it is
about this man that the whole world can see. And do something.
Respectfully,
Peter Clothier, Ph.D.
