Editor,

I feel sorry for those Americans who buy into the overwhelming false claims constantly made by the Democrats and the left-wing media.

I can only conclude that they want to believe the misinformation even in light of clear evidence to the contrary.

Steen Halling, in his letter to the editor of April 17, disputes the fact that Trump had nothing to do with the Jan. 6 protest at the White House and the fact that Black Lives Matter is a Marxist organization.

There is zero evidence that Trump had anything to do with the protest, and the head of BLM openly admits they are “trained Marxists”

Perhaps the blatant and constant Democrat and media falsehoods give liberals comfort for their misinformed beliefs.

I suggest that they would rest more easily if they accepted the truth about such things and enjoy being an honest American.

Either Mr. Halling has not accepted the fact that the Democrat party has been overtaken by far left Marxist Socialists or he is one himself. As more and more traditional Democrats become aware of the takeover, there will be a substantial exodus from the party.

If you are a Democrat, don’t hesitate; you do not need permission from anyone to leave.
