RNC rewrites dictionary
To the Editor: The Republican National Committee describes the day seven died and over 140 were injured as a time of “legitimate political discourse.” The word legitimate is defined as “according to the law” and discourse means “talk or conversation.”
We all know that on Jan. 6 Capital Police were beaten, leaders of both parties were hunted through the halls of Congress and a noose was on display for our vice president. There was nothing lawful or conversational about it.
The RNC is minimizing and whitewashing the violence. Their bizarre description of “legitimate political discourse” defies reason. It is frightening to see this normalizing of violence and chaos. Aggression and intimidation are anathema to democracy. The RNC’s abuse of language is damaging to our country and is an attack on democracy.
