This extremely frightening development in our national affairs, where this irresponsible public official from Long Island is singling out one group of our fellow Americans as traitorous to our country is repugnant and a threat to all of us eventually.

And we must never forget that it is the responsibility of every single freedom-loving American to fight this ugliness whenever it rears its head.
