LETTERS: Reasons NOT to vote for Kelly Ayotte

O P I N I O N

To the Editor:

In two glaring words, why not to vote for or endorse Kelly Ayotte for New Hampshire’s next governor: Donald Trump.

Ayotte unequivocally endorses Donald Trump even as we watch before our very eyes with every passing day, Trump’s further descent into madness, his incoherency, appalling bigotry and boundless fear mongering. During his rallies he rambles on about Biden’s circles, windmills, sharks, legal Haitian immigrants eating cats and dogs, “the weave”, witch hunts, his rally crowd sizes and the hocking of Trump bibles.

Trump’s profound, proficient endless lies, whether it be about FEMA/federal assistance going to migrants versus victims of two hurricanes have now endangered those very people in need. Or his lies about not losing the 2020 election and deceptive ballot counting have likewise endangered patriotic poll workers/state officials across America who are being threatened by Trump supporters and violence.

Trump has no regard for decency, compassion, love of country or rule of law, our democracy, our constitution, a woman’s right to control what happens to her body and life, and most importantly – truth.

By endorsing the woefully, egregiously unfit Trump, Kelly Ayotte proves that she lacks character, a sense of ethics, judgement, and allegiance to not only New Hampshire but to the United States of America as well.

Vote for Joyce Craig – she knows the difference between right and wrong, and she stands by her love for New Hampshire and her country. Kelly Ayotte cannot be trusted to be beholden to Trump’s adoption of the far right, dark Republican Project 25 agenda and potential self-proclaiming dictatorship.

Thank you.
