"The Swift Boating of Tammy Duckworth" My Letter to Renee Graham and the Globe -- Gobsmacked

Kudos, Renee Graham, to  your beautifully written editorial "The swift-boating of Tammy Duckworth" (Linked below). It is truly a reflection as to how low this slinger of mud president can go along with his sidecar of rightwing extremist media helpers.  Tammy Duckworth, a woman, who lost both legs as a soldier in Iraq, and a purple heart recipient for her valor, needs no supporting arguments for her obvious love of country.  Impugning her patriotism by the sickening war adverse President Bone Spurs 4 military deferments Trump and his sidekick Fox No News star, Tucker Carlson, is the height of dastardly swamp sinking vitriol by them.  How dare they both not silence their vicious asp-like tongues. 

The spewer of hate, Trump, told us what he was during his first campaign when he impugned John McCain for getting captured and being imprisoned by the North Vietnamese who through torture hung John McCain inversely from his arms never to regain proper usage of them again.  Two years in solitary confinement could not convince this low life president of McCain's hero status. 

The pain John McCain endured in service to his country is unimaginable and for Trump to have impugned him was the first example of Trump sinking into the abyss from which he never has emerged.  Impugning Tammy Duckworth, John McCain, or his making fun of  New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski's orthopedic joint disability by a gut wrenching mimicking of him are but a few examples of the mud into which Trump will sink if he thinks it will be received well by his base.  Shame on Trump, shame on Tucker Carlson and, most especially, shame on Republicans and his base enablers of these immoral and unethical Cretans who would not know true patriotism if it came up and gob smacked them in the face.
