To the Editor:

Why are Democrats so fond of radical political candidates? And do Democrats hate America?

Graham Platner, the Democrat from Maine who is Senate candidate, has a Nazi SS nipple tattoo, claims of extra-marital sexting and says that he pleasures himself in porta-potties. He refers to himself as a Communist and a self labeled “antifa super soldier.” His income comes from his military disability payments and being a dockmaster over 17 boats in Sullivan, Maine.

Adam Hamawy won the 2026 N.J. Democratic primary for a congressional seat. His qualifications are he is a Muslim, an Islamist and has ties to Al Qaeda. He hates Israel.

James Talarico, the Texas 2026 Democrat Senate candidate, says he doesn’t believe Jesus is Lord or King. This Presbyterian says that God is non-binary and that there are six genders. He also said that women are neighbors with a uterus.  He claims the Bible does not address homosexuality or abortion. Makes you wonder who is teaching in his church.

New York Democrats want to replace the terms mother and father with a gestating or non-gestating person. Why? Birth certificates are happy with the clarity of mother and father.

N.Y. 2026 Democrat House candidate Avila Chevalier deleted her anti-American tweets. She is a proud member of the New York Democratic Socialists of America. Avila is anti-Israel and is proudly supported by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Abdul El-Sayed is a Michigan Democratic Senate candidate. He wore a mask as late as the spring of 2022. He wants to abolish capitalism and the police. Progressive streamer Hasan Piker supports him.

The antisemites, once a fringe element of the Donkey party, now control Democrat national policy. A Gallup poll showed 65% of Democrats sympathized with the Palestinians and 17% with the Israelis.

Many in the Democratic Party enthusiastically supported podcaster Hasan Piker, whose favorite flag is Hezbollah’s. His statements include “America deserved 9/11”. So pay attention, it seems Democrats believe they must massage those radical, terrorist-loving candidates, while rejecting the mores of the American base.

A House Resolution to honor the life of Charlie Kirk got little Democrat support. fifty-eight voted no, 22 didn’t bother to show up and 38 cowardly Democrats voted present.

Please tell me: Are there any moderate Democrats left like the wonderful Georgia Senator Sam Nunn? For those of you who have “Proud to be a Democrat” bumper stickers, do your research: the old Democrat Party has left you. This is not the party of JFK or Bill Clinton. This is not your parents’ or your grandparents’ party. This party is anti America.

Let me suggest a call to your primary doctor. Enumerate your symptoms: fussy angry outbursts which may include kicking the dog or ripping Fox News off the wall. Include foaming at the mouth with hands clenched at the sight of a MAGA hat. Ask for strong drugs to combat TDS — Trump Derangement Syndrome! Expect a prescription for bed rest, and absolutely no trips to the post office!
