Letter to the editor: Treason accusations? This is not who we are.

Tribune-Review | Monday, July 28, 2025 9:00 a.m.

Open letter to Sen. Dave McCormick:

Senator, this is not who we are!

President Trump now has, without any evidence, stated that former President Obama committed treason.

Sitting in the room that is at the heart of the longest standing democracy in history, Trump said, “Whether it’s right or wrong, it’s time to go after people.”

The next time you proudly stand before our flag, with hand over heart, do this: Instead of reciting our Pledge of Allegiance, read the words in the preceding paragraph. If the Stars and Stripes could hear and speak, I firmly believe the flag would say the following: “Senator, this is not who we are! Speak out to oppose this act of tyranny. Silence is complicity.”
