Is she talking about our AA brothers and sisters whose rights have been hard fought and actual protections have been secured? Are we talking about the LGBTQ+ community whose rights and pronouns are championed far and wide? And Ms. Escobar, can you please give it up on Trump's statement about the march in Charlottesville. You can't look at the first part of his statement without situating it in the context of his entire statement. Your selective criticism has been debunked - yet you continue to latch onto this like dog that sinks its teeth into someone's ankle and won't let go.
