Lindsey Graham wrong to attack Trump

Leave it to the Democrats and their ilk to use a tragedy like the one in Charlottesville to divide our country further, making it all about politics while trying to lay the blame on President Trump for not reacting more severely to the assault, which brings me to my senator, Lindsey Graham.

I voted for Sen. Graham, but I take exception to his lack of loyalty. He would rather publicly stir the fires of hatred, joining the detractors of the president.

Graham had the audacity to chastise President Trump, saying he should have been stronger in his condemnation of the mentally deranged white anarchists.

After watching both Democrats and Republicans tear into Trump over every move he has made, I see a doomed nation of malcontents. While we fight against ourselves, some third-world potentate could walk in and take over our country.
