I.C.E. pint glasses as a Republican fundraiser

Here's a letter I'm sending to Republican Senator McCormick:

Sen. Dave McCormick

SH-702 Hart Senate Office Building

Washington, D.C. 20510


Dear Senator McCormick:


Today’s New York Times had a two-page spread about how I.C.E. is separating families.  Deported parents are desperately trying to connect with their kids.


An article about deportees who never committed any type of crime and were sent off to foreign countries in which they had no connection appeared in the latest issue of the New Yorker magazine.


And how is the National Republican Senatorial Committee raising money in this holiday season?  By selling I.C.E. pint glasses, “the official drink of conservatives who want secure borders and frosty beverages.”


Really?  This is the level to which one of two major political parties in American has sunk.  The party is using this to raise money?  This abomination is connected to a celebration of the birth of Jesus, born in a foreign land because his parents were refugees fleeing oppression.  This is beyond pathetic.  It is also one more reason why this Republican Party and its candidates will be repudiated next November and in 2028, and deservedly so.


Sincerely,

Roy Christman
