Debate right or wrong, not good or bad
Their skin is brown; mine’s white. They embrace socialism; I love capitalism. Their parents were born elsewhere; mine were born in Illinois. They live in big cities; I was reared on a farm. I have little in common with the four members of Congress Donald Trump lashed out at this week. But let’s be clear — it’s wrong to question these women’s patriotism as our president did.
