Letter to the editor: Law and order party?

What ever happened to the law and order party? They refuse to support the police with commonsense gun safety regulations that could save their lives. They refused to convict the twice-impeached former President Trump over his criminal extortion scheme of Ukraine’s president and when he refused to admit election defeat. We all heard his repeated claims, without any evidence, of election fraud. We saw his chaos on Jan. 6. He reveled in the desecration of a symbol of our government, the Capitol. He and his followers cooked up a phony electors scheme, desperately trying to hold onto power. And after all this, the party chose Trump a third time to be their candidate for president.

The MAGA violent mob and certain party members continue to harass, threaten and intimidate those who do not blindly follow their leader or those who try to hold Trump to account for his criminal and anti- constitutional behavior. Nikki Haley, federal judge Tanya Chutkan, Judge Arthur Engoron, Brad Raffensperger, Jack Smith, Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney and others have been the targets of death threats, home swatting, doxxing and menacing phone calls; some have had to hire security guards.

This sounds like a party that condones violence, intimidation and breaking the law and not one that abides by the rule of law. How did this happen?
