What's more un-American? Protests or president?

Posted

Dear editor:

Sen. John Barrasso claimed on the Senate floor last Thursday that the "No Kings" protests scheduled for Saturday were "radical" and "anti-American ... 'I hate America' rallies." Then, on the day of the nationwide protest, Donald Trump posted a video of himself, a crown on his head, flying a fighter jet over a protest and dumping excrement on the protesters. So I ask your readers, what's more radical, more anti-American? Participating in one's First Amendment right to peaceably assemble, petitioning the government for a redress of grievances, or declaring oneself king (the very anathema to our Founding Fathers) and dumping on dissidents?
