Letter: Trump panders to his base of bigots

(Evan Vucci | The Associated Press) President Donald Trump arrives for a "Celebration of America" event at the White House, Tuesday, June 5, 2018, in Washington, in lieu of a Super Bowl celebration for the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles that he canceled.

President Donald Trump has seized the NFL players’ peaceful protest against unequal justice as a way to pander to his base of bigots. America is better than this.
