— ROSKAM: TRUMP’S COMMENTS ABOUT CHARLOTTESVILLE “NOT ACCEPTABLE”
http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2017/08/roskam-trumps-comments-about-charlottesville-not-acceptable-.html
(FROM THE COMMENTS: Nancy Thorner said…I never thought I would have to speak unkindly about you, Peter, but you seem to have become unhinged by wanting to follow other Republicans who are too afraid to stand up for what is the truth, that there was violence on both sides, fearing backlash from a dishonest media who is poisoning the minds of the American people against Trump. I think it might be time for you to retire from politics. We don’t need spineless Republicans in office who can’t support Trump because you don’t wish to explain to your constituents how they are being lied to by the media,the Left, and by irresponsible and turncoat Republicans. I’m appalled by the two Bush presidents, but they never liked Trump in the first place because of Jeb’s loss. Regarding Ryan and McConnell, these establishment politicians must go. They have continually thwarted Trump at accomplishing all he has attempted to do since he was sworn into office. All I can conclude is that Republicans by supporting the Left with their condemnation of Trump, don’t care if they destroy this nation in the process. Don’t you understand how the Left, the Deep state, and other forces — led by George Soros — are doing all possible to discredit President Trump. It is George Soros who is sending the violent goon squads where ever needed to cause destruction and chaos, Peter.)
