Letter to the editor: Ashamed of Montana leaders

Open letter to Daines, Sheehy and Zinke,

Assaults on our Constitution, the destruction of the economy, raining murder and terror upon our citizens and immigrants, financial blackmail, war crimes, grift and corruption, the war on free speech, protecting rich white pedophiles, an illegal war launched to distract from these disasters — all of which you support by your actions and/or inactions — continue unrelentingly.

By supporting this daily assault on decency, integrity and justice, you have covered yourself in blood and shame. It was easy to recognize your soulless vacuity early on. You are not distinguished by intelligence, but even you must recognize the criminal staring back when you look in the mirror. Thus you cling ever more tightly to the convicted felon that heads your cult. Perhaps that allows you to sleep more soundly at night; not needing a light to keep the ghosts at bay. Will the school children who were slaughtered today in a strike against a school in Iran trouble your dreams? Or Renee Good? Or Alex Pretti? Or Liam Ramos? Or Nurul Amin Shah Alam? Or those languishing in U.S. concentration camps? So many killed and disappeared. I suspect not. Your taste for secondhand blood has grown insatiable in the interest of self-preservation.

We do not live in a just world, but on occasion justice prevails. If you face such a reckoning, the millions who oppose this morally and legally corrupt regime and your complicity in its crimes will bask in the light of that justice.

Shawn Wathen,

Hamilton
