To the editor:
It has long been clear, evidenced by both his rhetoric and his actions, that Donald Trump has prioritized his re-election bid above all else, even above human life. The man who confided in reporter Bob Woodward that he knew the coronavirus was five times deadlier than the flu, and much easier to transmit, is now, once again, holding mass rallies packed with thousands of unmasked attendees. Each rally a potential new coronavirus “super spreader” event. Trump knows it and he doesn’t care because he believes that it serves his political agenda.
This is unabashedly shameless and a depraved debasement of the sanctity of human life. This president, who staunchly claims to be “pro-life,” disproves this claim by his acts of stunning hypocrisy. Perhaps Mr. Trump is comforted by the belief that his rally-goers will likely vote before they have a chance to become infected by COVID-19 and possibly die. Seemingly, this is all he really cares about.

Note from KBJ: We live in a free country, Ken. Why are you such a totalitarian? By the way, thanks for acknowledging that Trump's rallies are helping him. Where is Joe Biden? Has he come out of his basement yet today?
