Letters to the Editor: Hillary Clinton showed Donald Trump how to concede like a real patriot

[In It to Win It]

To the editor: Hillary Clinton congratulated Donald Trump on his win in the middle of the night after election day on Nov. 8, 2016. She formally conceded before noon on Nov. 9. That was a show of grace and patriotism, putting country before self, even when she knew that she would win the popular vote despite losing the electoral college. (“Trump slows Biden transition with denials, lawsuits,” Nov. 9)

I don’t expect anything approaching grace, patriotism or class from President Trump. But what is wrong with other Republicans? They’ve been waving the flag and citing “God and country” all these years, and for what?

When the time has come for them to show what they are made of, it appears that loyalty to the Constitution and respect for the will of the people are, shamefully, not part of who they are.

And they wonder why people kneel during the national anthem and protest in the streets. Hypocrisy, thy name is Republican.
