District 6 mailer from GOP is ‘vile’
Two months have passed since the slaughter of 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. The victims’ families will be coping with the tragedy for years.
Not so the Tennessee Republican Party. It seems to think that the murder of 21 people, while tragic, can be repurposed into a political hit job against County Commissioner David Sharpe just in time for this week’s election. Thus its recent mailer to District 6 voters whom Sharpe represents.
It would be too kind to describe the mailer as offensive. A more accurate adjective would be vile, which my dictionary defines as “morally despicable or abhorrent.”
It depicts an elementary school student with these words: “School shooters are lurking.” Below the photo: “And Commissioner David Sharpe would open the door for them.”
