An Open Letter

To: Sen. Ricketts, Rep. Flood, Sen. Fischer

From: A verified voter in Papillion, NE

April 7

Today during the traditional Easter Egg Roll on the White House lawn, Trump told LITTLE CHILDREN about killing Iranians. He talked to kids about the egg industry. He talked about fighter jets being shot down. This is a man with a Tuesday deadline threatening Iran with the destruction of basic civilian infrastructure — which Iran's foreign ministry and international legal experts have both called a war crime under the Rome Statute — while smiling and waving at children with Easter baskets. The Easter Egg Roll is supposed to be about Joy, children, community, and tradition. Every president since Rutherford B. Hayes has honored that. Trump turned it into a war briefing. This is NOT normal and this is NOT okay. Every single person in that crowd — every parent, every child — deserved better than to have their Easter memory poisoned by threats of civilian bombing campaigns. Trump is not well. You must do your duty an evoke the 25th Amendment.
