Letter: When decency and respect die

This past weekend there was an incident involving a summit held in DC by a group of conservative leaders. This group calls itself, “Principles First” and espouses many values that I imagine the conservative readers of this paper also espouse. However, the group’s founders are somewhat critical of MAGA. During their summit, the conference facility was evacuated due to a bomb threat delivered by email. The email mentioned the summit panelists by name, followed by the words, “[They all] deserve to die.” Given the recently confirmed head of the FBI, an investigation into this incident is very unlikely to go anywhere. This is unconscionable. The death threats have got to stop. But they will only get worse until we, as Americans, stand up together for decency, respect, integrity, and the rule of law in our nation. Please write to your congressmen and tell them so!
