Description

Palatine Township Republican Organization Committeeman I am stunned by today's events. I am saddened and frustrated by what I witnessed. Violence is not acceptable in any circumstance – be it looting, rioting or storming the nation's capital. This is not American, these are not our values. My heart goes out to the family of the woman who died and those who chose violence over peace. This is NOT the example we want for our children. This is NOT how America should be seen on the world stage. This is NOT Patriotism. A crucial tenet of our democracy is the peaceful transition of power. As your Republican Committeeman, I do not condone these actions. I believe we are better and can do better.
