Ashamed of our country

Sat., Dec. 21, 2019

I am embarrassed and ashamed for our country. The Democrats dragged us down into a sewer with this manufactured impeachment of the president Americans elected.

No court in the land would hear this case on merit. There is not one factual piece of evidence against him. I can’t believe I witnessed this Salem-like witch trial.

My hopes are that the Republicans don’t follow the Democrats into the sewer, and that America remembers this travesty in the 2020 elections.
