Republican cowards must stop Trump from destroying American democracy

Trump's attempts to overturn an election are criminal.

Echo opinion letter published in The Oklahoman newspaper:

Republicans must "Dump the tRump!"

It seems Donald Trump, his legal team and supporters are constantly beating on the First Amendment as a defense against his many criminal charges. 

HELLO? 

Yelling, "Fire!" in a crowded auditorium when there is no fire is not a First Amendment right. It is a crime❗🔥 

Trump's constant harassment of those who want him tried for crimes against the United States and the citizens of our country, is not leadership, it is bullying of the worst sort. Trump's attempts to overturn an election are criminal. And as J. Michael Luttig recently discussed in an interview on the "PBS News Hour," Republican leaders and elected officials, who have continued to discount his actions or suggest our justice system has been weaponized against him in some way, have betrayed the American people and are cowards.

Those Republican cowards include all of our elected U.S. representatives and U.S. senators from Oklahoma, these individuals should have quickly and clearly called out Donald Trump for the lies he has told and continues to tell about the 2020 election. So, as Donald Trump yells, "Fire❗" our democracy is being trampled by him and those who continue to either support him or remain silent about his crimes.
