Have we lost respect for our fellow man? The current atmosphere of the upcoming election is nothing short of morally reprehensible. How words have been thrown at candidate Kamala Harris. I am not saying I am in her corner, just stating facts.

Take for instance Sebastian Gorka, former aide under former President Donald Trump. His statement regarding Kamala Harris on CNN was that she was “a disaster whose only qualification is that of having a vagina and the right skin color.” Who is he to judge? While in the White House he was a fugitive from the Hungarian justice system. He has been accused of having close ties to Nazi organizations.

What kind of language does former President Trump use. Like “Kamala Harris is as dumb as a rock,” and our service veterans are “suckers and losers.”

They gave their lives so we may enjoy the freedoms we have.

Former President Trump’s vice president candidate remarks that Kamala Harris is a DEI hire, a term used to describe people of racial or ethnic minority, women with disabilities for position of authority.

Can’t we go back to the “what’s your platform?” Private parts and color have no place in who will lead our great country.
