It's unbelievable to me how someone like Richard Hord from Martins Ferry can harbor so much hatred toward any one person that he keeps harping and writing and harping and writing about the same old mistruths. But since no one ever challenges him I guess he can keep believing and spreading his lies … let's see, where do I start?
In his recent letter here he stated 'it has been documented that while in office Trump has been responsible for no fewer than 30,573 false statements.' I ask Mr. Hord to reveal where this has been documented? I ask Mr. Hord to just write one letter here with absolute proof of just one lie that Mr. Trump told the American people. I feel safe in saying that if Trump has been accused of lying 30,573 times that there has been 30,573 stories about him from anonymous sources. Just last week I told my wife I was going to the store to get some milk but they were out. I guess by Mr. Hord's standards that would make me a liar.
Next he talks about comparing Trump's criticisms of crooked Hillary to his recent raid of his home in Florida. Funny you didn't mention that Hillary's private server was 'illegal' to have for a government official and that you said Trump secretly took similar documents that were just as secret. You don't know this as fact, you just wish it was fact. Truth will come out as it always does and you'll be wrong again just like you were three-four years ago.
Then he mentions Trump commenting on people pleading the fifth as being automatically guilty but then pleading the fifth himself. That's easily said but can you provide any proof that any of that is true?
Then he talked about Trump's tax returns not being made available for public scrutiny. With the way liberals twist and exaggerate the facts in any and every case against conservatives I don't blame him for not releasing them. So far in seven years of having every rock turned over in his life I have seen nothing noteworthy to cry foul about … it's an investigation in search of a crime! Just imagine if that was anyone else?
But Hord just keeps whining and complaining about things that are just made up … but he believes them. Well, his hatred toward almost 80 million Americans who voted for Trump is just as sad. Does Mr. Hord even realize that in this area about 70% of voters voted for Trump? So he thinks the majority of us are uneducated or uninformed. But in return Mr. Hord, the majority of us, 70% or so think that you are uneducated and uninformed. Let's have a vote who is correct!
