Tennessee Senator Corker: Reject Racism, Rescind Your Support for Donald Trump

As a longtime resident and registered voter of Tennessee, I am horrified to hear that our state’s Senator Bob Corker supports Donald Trump and his racist and troublesome campaign for the presidency. 

In his drive to rule our country, he has literally attacked immigrants, Latinos, African Americans, Muslims, women and even people with disabilities.

The stance that Mr. Trump takes presents great concern for our country and the diversified people he would represent.  As a woman, I am deeply concerned about his views and insults against women and an overall disrespect for us and our gender.  He continues to ridicule and condemn so many minorities which is a disgraceful view and campaign in which he is moving for an office that is geared to serve and protect all of us in America as a whole.

As The Atlantic notes:

"Part of Trump’s rhetorical power is his supercharged used of "we," a method that persuades people across the country that they are part of a larger movement, and somehow share with Trump his aura of wealthy and luxury... His phrasing is telling. First, it suggests that for Trump, blacks and Hispanics aren’t part of “we”—“they” constitute separate groups. Perhaps that’s an accidental, unthinking division, but subconscious racial division is no less dangerous. Second, it shows him assuming that minority concerns can be reduced to economics. That view is perhaps unsurprising for a man who has spent his career trying to accumulate wealth, but it is a two-dimensional view of black and Hispanic Americans." 

Such views seem to show Trump as being a bigot or prejudice and not being open to the best of interest of all those he would lead. 

Speak out to our Tennessee Senator Corker and ask him to reject racism and rescind his support of Donald Trump for president.  You can help in this effort by signing and sharing this petition, adding your own thoughts and comments in support of our great country.

Tennessee Senator Corker:

I strongly urge you to reject racism and rescind your support of Donald Trump for President. It is crystal clear that he lacks the temperament and understanding of women and ethnic and religious minorities who live in our great country to be an effective leader. 

He has very little respect for women as a whole and also continues to ridicule and condemn wide swathes of the American public. In a campaign for an office that is obligated to serve and protect the diverse population that makes up America, such views are disgraceful.

By supporting such a candidate, you risk being seen as condoning the same types of bigoted views as are being expressed by Donald Trump. I believe you can be better than this and urge you to rescind your support for Trump's candidacy immediately.
