**Condemn Trump's Treasonous Remarks Suggesting Iran Attack Los Angeles and San Diego**
You need to publicly and loudly condemn President Trump's suggestion that Iran should "take out" Los Angeles and San Diego. At a rally in Nebraska, Trump said letting a foreign adversary destroy two of America's largest cities was "a very small price to pay." The crowd cheered. This is not a gaffe — it is a president openly inviting an attack on 13 million American residents in cities he has long treated as political enemies. Looks like treason.
The White House spin that Trump was merely describing a hypothetical threat doesn't hold up. He was very clear. He said "let 'em take out Los Angeles, let 'em take out San Diego" — unprompted, to applause. Mayor Todd Gloria was right: San Diego is not collateral damage. Neither is Los Angeles. These are American cities filled with people. A president who publicly muses about foreign enemies destroying American cities and American people to score political points has abandoned the most basic obligation of the office. It is treasonous. I expect you to say so, loudly and on the record. And is this enough to impeach him? Seriously, Congress went after Clinton for oral sex. How much does Trump need to do to get you to stand up for the people in this country? We are all suffering. We deserve a government that doesn’t see its people as collateral damage and offers them to the “enemy.”
Doing nothing, being on Donny’s good side, excusing this treasonous behavior is complacency which says you agree with all he is doing. We will remember and you will see what happens when elections happen.
