Dispelling the darkness
The darkness of the tragic events in Charlottesville — and President Trump’s continued blessing of the racist, anti-Semitic, neo-Nazi, white supremacist elements seeking to tear apart this nation — have cast a pall over our state and country. We have been emotionally drained by the displays of hatred and violence by these groups, now unleashed because our president has no moral compass.
