<p>President Donald Trump tweeted an absurdly racist tweet telling four of our congresswomen to &#8220;go back where they came from.&#8221;</p><p>The irony of this immature and ignorant comment is that three of the women were born here in the United States.</p><p>Our local Republican representatives, U.S. Rep. Dan Meuser, state Sen. Lisa Baker and state Reps. Karen Boback and Aaron Kaufer have been silent in the face of this blatant racism. I would like to know their stand on racism, and why they haven&#8217;t come forward to defend against such a divisive, racist President.</p><p>Our country is at a moral crossroads for the first time in my lifetime, and I want to know where our elected officials stand on which road they want to take us down.</p><p>Silence is compliance.</p><p>Scott Cannon </p><p>Plymouth</p><style>
