Today, MAGA-Republican President Donald J Trump posted this on Truth Social:
(Note that this is after dropping untold tons of bombs onto Iran.)
Time will tell if Iran has, indeed, been dealt a death blow but for the sake of this discussion, let's assume that The Donald is correct - I am sure he certainly believes that he is. So let's go with that.
Now he's declared his political opponents to be the next great enemy to the United States.
Do you, Senator McCormick, agree with Donald Trump on this? A simple yes or no will suffice.
You once wrote to me:
I also believe that we must all work to lower the temperature of our public discourse.
Adding that "inflammatory rhetoric" puts others at risk. In that example you were discussing law enforcement officials. I am wondering if you'll be denouncing Donald Trump's "inflammatory rhetoric" regarding the Democratic Party any time soon.
In that same email you wrote:
While strong disagreements are a part of our democratic system and should be debated vigorously...
It seems that the leader of your party doesn't hold that same position when it comes to the opposing political party.
He just bombed Iran for no obvious reason (indeed the reasons keep shifting). Will you agree that declaring the Democratic Party as the next great enemy of America to be "inflammatory rhetoric"?
