To the Editor:

I just read where Sen. John Thune endorsed Kari Lake from Arizona in her race for the U.S. Senate. He says she will help enact GOP priorities.

Apparently, the GOP priorities include destroying our democracy, because that is what she has been trying to do since she lost the last election. She keeps denying the election was fair.

Ken Block, who was hired by the 2020 Trump campaign to find fraud in the six swing states, found fewer than 200 duplicate mail-in ballots where there was any fraud. Trump refused to accept the results found in his campaign’s own investigation.

Facts don’t seem to affect Trump. He keeps telling lies about the results of the election, even after he was told by his own people there was negligible fraud.

Trump has had more than 4,000 lawsuits filed against him and his companies, including at least 60 lawsuits over unpaid wages, with 24 violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act. It is hard to believe his being picked on because of politics, when his track record over his lifetime would indicate a different story.

Also, Mitch McConnell, who after the insurrection said Trump was responsible, now has endorsed Trump, even though Trump said that his term, if re-elected, will be about retaliation and retribution instead of moving the country forward.

Given Trump’s infatuation with dictators and autocrats, and how he brags them up, I think there is a possibility that if he is elected president, it could be the last presidential election in this country.
