Raghu Ballal: An unpatriotic gesture by GOP
I agree with your March 11 editorial “An outrage” about the Republican senators’ entirely partisan, illogical and immoral act of writing a threatening letter to a foreign leader who is a sworn enemy of the United States only because they hate our president!
That the Senate leadership went along with a freshman senator’s rant and 46 others went along with it including our own Sens. Richard Burr and Thom Tillis show the poverty of logical, independent thinking that is needed by the Senate, which is often quoted as the most honored and revered legislative body in the world.
What our senators have done is definitely unpatriotic and most likely treasonous. I wish the public had a recourse to get rid of these unpatriotic legislators.
