Referring to US cities as military training grounds is reprehensible

To: Rep. Rutherford, Sen. Moody, Sen. Scott

From: A constituent in Saint Augustine, FL

September 30, 2025

Today, referring to US cities, our president said, "I told Pete [Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth], we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military". There is no context that makes this statement morally just nor legally permissible. At best, unchecked it normalizes ideas that should be the antithesis of normality. Every day you do not take action to remove this president from his office is another day that you are complicit in the destruction of our once great country. What are you waiting for?
