Re: “In Trump Tweets, Blacks Perceive a Callous Rival” (front page, Jan. 16):
Donald Trump’s words of hatred toward Representative John Lewis and his constituency hurt all Americans, regardless of race. Black, white, Asian, Latino, whatever we may be, we all have a stake in our unified future and welfare.
As a staunch civil rights advocate over many years, Mr. Lewis is a national treasure. No one should attack this man.
The hatred Mr. Trump brings forth does not belong in the White House. There are too many questions that should have been answered through investigation and the release of his tax returns. Whom is he beholden to?
Mr. Lewis is correct to question the legitimacy of this president-elect, who won the election with the help of Russian hackers and rampant disinformation. I am outraged.
