It is more than discouraging that antisemites and white supremacists feel so empowered in Clark County that they blatantly paint swastikas in Felida and tear down Pride flags in Uptown Village (“Vandals hit Vancouver bar, Felida park,” The Columbian, June 10).
I note that the swastikas (painted at Felida Park) followed immediately on the heels of Sen. Ann Rivers’ unmasked speaking event at the park the same day. If our leaders don’t agree with antisemitism and transphobia, they need to step up and lead by example. Sen. Rivers: put on a mask!
Some anti-maskers are antisemites, anti-trans, and anti-LGBTQ politically. I can only believe that Sen. Rivers is one of them.
