Letter: Gazette should not have endorsed Clinton

The Gazette should withdraw its endorsement of Hillary Clinton.
The Gazette editorial staff claimed to 'promote candidates who are responsible, transparent and accountable.” They didn't address Clinton's foreign policy failures where ISIS rose like a phoenix from the ashes of al-Qaida. They did not address how Clinton sought to deceive with a private email server and lied repeatedly about secret national security information. They didn't address how Clinton lied to the public about a video and then lied to the families of the fallen about how their loved ones died.
The Gazette suggests Hillary Clinton is broadly prepared but also wrote, 'Revelations from Clinton's State Department and leaked email exchanges laid bare manipulative strategizing that many find rightly distasteful or morally objectionable.” They ignored the Clinton Foundation. The Gazette has done its part to demonstrate that the media is rigged against one candidate ignoring the collusion of the media.
The Gazette wrote, 'Politics should be about an examination of important public issues, about respectful deliberation, discussion and compromise,” and then published mostly dirt and not the issues. Donald Trump has presented economic policies that will encourage business to grow and create jobs. He has proposed broad policies to support safe neighborhoods, economic opportunity and education. Trump will listen and represent all Americans.
Reject the media misleading the public and Vote for Trump for a voice for the American people and against the tyranny of the media and special interests.
