Blame Anybody - The Seattle Medium

What kind of person plays games with a deadly disease that he knows is deadly; yet, gleefully tells the people he’s responsible for protecting that they shouldn’t do the very thing that might protect them? What kind of person would say such horrible things about military leaders who’re also responsible for protecting the American people at his command? Who believes those little Black kids sitting behind him as he speaks even know who he is?

The post Blame Anybody appeared first on The Seattle Medium.
