A Democrat was in the White House when my family was sent to the internment camps in 1941. It was an egregious violation of our human and civil rights. It would have been understandable if people like me said they’d never vote for a Democrat again, given what had been done to

Questions Fox News won’t shout at Trump: -Have you been evaluated for dementia, given your family history? -Are you eligible to run for office, if you gave aid & comfort to insurrectionists? -Why did you call any of your fellow Americans “vermin,” echoing fascists like Hitler?
