Letter: Keep felons out of White House

By John Abbott, Camas
Published: August 20, 2024, 6:00am

Let’s set aside party and policies for a moment and focus on one very important issue. We should never vote to put a convicted felon and sex abuser into the White House. I don’t care what party he or she is or what their policies are. Does this make me a “single-issue voter”? On this topic, yes, I am a single-issue voter.

More so, I don’t even think convicted felons should be allowed to run for national office. And on a related topic, I will not vote for any candidate who supports electing a convicted felon and sex abuser into the White House as doing so demonstrates significantly impaired judgment — judgment they would have to rely on in their role as an elected official.
