Meadows’ action is unconscionable

Meadows’ action is unconscionable

To the Editor:

Unbelievable that Rep. Mark Meadows (R-Brevard) chose to use a black female HUD employee as a token, cheap prop to demonstrate that Trump cannot possibly be racist. He should be ashamed and apologize for portraying our district as a bunch of backwards thinking hillbillies.  

Trump has proven over and over that he is a racist, and if Rep. Meadows refuses to believe it then he needs to take one of the dozens of vacant jobs in the White House and let us be represented by someone else.

And shame of her for agreeing to participate with him, unless she had no choice.
