Trump's disrespect of working journalists

To: Sen. Murkowski, Sen. Sullivan

From: A verified voter in Anchorage, AK

November 18

Donald Trump has constantly shown his disrespect for journalism since he first entered the media realm some 40 years ago. He has been successful in blackmailing and bullying major news organizations into capitulating to his whims. However, his tendency to attack a reporter's 'attitude' in asking any question he doesn't wish to answer is strictly schoolyard behavior. Today I am particularly disgusted that he called a female journalist "piggy." I'm tired of everyone treating this like it's normal. It's not. I have seen no statement from the Senator condemning the president's name-calling this week. If you expect women to vote for you, you need to stand up for women in return, rather than support this behavior through your silence.
