Letters: We, the deplorables, have taken back our country

AP

The deplorables, as Hillary Clinton called us, have spoken loud and clear:

We are tired of the corruption in Washington.

We are tired of the lies about Hillary’s emails, Benghazi and the criminal Clinton Foundation.

We are tired of the IRS being used by the president to punish political opponents.

We are sick of seeing illegal immigrants and criminals being released by inept police departments in “sanctuary cities.”

We are tired of the weak-kneed FBI and the so-called Justice Department being puppets of the Clinton machine.

We are sick of a president who supports groups of rioters and looters.

We are tired of seeing the president of the strongest nation in the world making this country the laughingstock of the world.

The deplorables have taken back our country.
