No consistency with Trump supporter’s remarks

Dear Editor:

I read with amusement Larry Overlan’s letter admonishing Nancy Bloom and Susan Johnson for their “vicious statements” in reference to Donald Trump. He went onto say, “Such awful, unsubstantiated comments do a disservice to our country’s president.”

My question for Mr. Overlan is this: where was your outrage when Donald Trump spent five years fanning the flames of racism by promoting the lie that Barack Obama was not born in the United States? Do you think that might have been a disservice to our country’s president? How about when he tweeted that Obama’s inauguration was a “travesty,” though Obama, unlike Mr. Trump, actually won the popular vote. Twice.

It seems to me that no matter what horrible things Mr. Trump says, his supporters applaud his refreshing lack of political correctness. How different their response is when the tides are turned!

I don’t know Ms. Bloom or Ms. Johnson, but I certainly hope they will stand by their statements!
