Letter: We should all condemn Trump for his statements

Outrage mounted on January 12, 2018 over US President Donald Trump's reported description of African nations, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" countries, with the United Nations slamming his comments as "racist". During a Thursday meeting with lawmakers on immigration reform, Trump demanded to know why the US should accept citizens from what he called "shithole" countries, according to comments first reported by the Washington Post. / AFP PHOTO / Brendan SmialowskiBRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP/Getty Images

Letter writer says we should all rise up in condemnation of Trump making statements like he made about Haiti and African countries.

I think we should all rise up in condemnation of President Donald Trump making statements like he made about Haiti and African countries. He should be condemned from every corner of the United States, and the world should know that it happened from us. Not only was that a deep insult to people of color, he further insulted the rest of us by insinuating that he only iterated what was on the minds of all white people. While his mind seems to always be in a gutter, he has no right to assume we’re all that way. His remarks are insulting and degrading to our country and to us as a people living under the United States Constitution.

    Letter: Donald Trump is fearless and that’s a good thing
    The president is going to tell you the unvarnished truth. You might not like what he says or how he says it, that is your problem. I suggest you get over it and start embracing the hard truth of the challenges we are facing, because the president has no problem ramming it down your ears. Or maybe you would rather...

    Letter: No criminal law specialist supports Persky’s recall
    Shannon Loucks (Letters, Jan. 14) claims the filing of recall petitions against Judge Aaron Persky should be celebrated. Wrong. Loucks is undoubtedly a well-intentioned lady, but has uncritically accepted the misrepresentations of the recall campaign. The campaign claims Persky has a history of biased decisions. The Commission on Judicial Performance and the Santa Clara County Bar have both examined that...
