Tyler is an American. In fact, I believe he is a GOOD American. He works hard, he overcomes adversity, and he loves his fellow man.
Tyler does not vote. He does not have the mental capacity to vote. He cannot understand the complexities of the political world, and perhaps he is lucky not to.
But let me remind everyone...
This shameful display was a "leader" who saw fit to insult a handicapped journalist. When he did such a despicable thing, it effected me personally. He insulted every disabled American and he insulted my son. In this moment HE INSULTED MY BELOVED WONDERFUL SON. So I am going to exercise my right as his father to now comment on that and this election.
I have never seen such a despicable human being. If you disagree, look at the picture above and then check yourself in the mirror. This puke made fun of a brave American hero because he was different due to a handicap. My son fights to prevail every day despite those who mock him.
Most disappointing is the religious institutions that whored themselves for Republican money and protections that they sold their morality for a few pieces of silver. Those who pretend to have religious purpose while turning their heads to bigotry, hate, misogyny, and class warfare. There is no other way to put this, our religious leaders have failed to stand up for true Christian values. They have failed the most vulnerable of us....and that is Tyler and everyone in similar circumstances to him.
I spoke for myself and I spoke for him. Let me show you this picture again. This was a stake to the heart of me, Tyler, and the special needs community.
I challenge any so-called Christian to spend 5 minutes with Tyler and then look at this picture. If you aren't disgusted and appalled with this, I have no more time for you. Period.
For those who want to say "he has flaws" I challenge you to show me where he has humbled himself, apologized, or repented for his actions. Never.
I voted in this election. And in some fashion, so did Tyler. We voted for compassion, love, and tolerance. We voted for Biden. And maybe just as importantly, we voted against hate and ignorance in the form of a coward by the name of Donald Trump.
Be well and God bless. Tom
