Letter to the Editor #4: Nordic Fest Parade crasher

Posted: Wed, Aug 3, 2016 4:39 PM

(The following Letter to the Editor has been received from Dwight Jones of Waukon):

"I am not from Decorah, so most of you probably feel I don't have a right to an opinion, but I'm going to share it anyway.

Regarding the Hillary float from the recent Nordic Fest Parade--imagine if something similar had happened, but the float was anti-Trump.  Imagine he had been a part of a recent legal controversy and had been cleared of criminal charges, but it was all extremely controversial.

Can you imagine Republicans acting this way?  Can you?  Personally, I cannot.  Bringing so much attention to this act versus just laughing it off has provided the culprit a thousand times more anti-Hillary publicity than he could have ever dreamed.

Gary Rustad is a volunteer and I'm guessing he had his hands full that day versus doing a walk through of every single entry to make sure all was legit.  Stop trying to make someone a scapegoat, move on and support whatever candidate you wish."
