Former President Trump has been shot.
Is that where we are as a country? How disgraceful, how shameful that this is where we are. We’ve fallen so far into the pit of partisanship and vitriol that this is now the mainstream: who are we? Are we the United States of America? No, we’re not. That this is the norm in our country and that we’ve gone so low to this disgrace that we can no longer debate the issues with grace and dignity, and we resort to this sort of violence.
Hatred isn’t the answer; violence isn’t the solution: we’re of the same kin, we’re of the same breed. All of us, 365 million strong, are connected by the eternal bonds that the name America bestows upon us: we’re better than this; we’re greater than this. With this tragedy befalling our country, we pray for the former President and appeal to our better angels. Our country is bruised and hurting, being torn and ripped to shreds, but we’re greater than this; we can rise and be who we are, America.
