Editor,
I wrote to Senator Daines. I wrote to Congressman Greg Gianforte. I asked both to make a public statement rebuking President Trump for disparaging the US Armed Forces, calling soldiers losers, calling prisoners of war dummies.
I did not hear back from Senator Daines. Neither did Governor Bullock who made the same request.
Greg Gianforte’s response to me was that “… the president’s communication style may rub some folks the wrong way ... ” What’s he talking about? This has nothing to do with style.
Gianforte’s response included nothing about honoring the military. I will not vote for candidates who won’t call out the president for blatant disrespect for the US military. Their silence is their support.
