VOICE OF AMERICA
— Are Aging Americans Too Old to Work? – Dora Mekouar (DIERSEN: How old are you? I am almost 70. All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always promoted age discrimination big time a) to get rid of those who were older than they are and/or b) to curry favor with those who promote age discrimination. I should write a book about those in the Milton Township Republican Central Committee, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party who focus on promoting age discrimination. Those who promote age discrimination also promote discrimination against those who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
