I debated whether to write this post. But then I thought it was important to stand up for what I believe in.

I think this naked statue of Donald Trump was totally out of line. I think it’s disrespectful. And I think it’s another sign of how far we have fallen.

But what makes me even angrier is that the City of San Francisco waited almost a FULL DAY before they took it down.

I think that’s pathetic. If that was a naked statue of Hillary Clinton they would have taken it down in two minutes.

I’m not trying to defend Donald Trump in any way. He’s said a lot of outrageous things that I completely disagree with. But I think this statue is just as outrageous. I don’t find it funny or clever.

To me it’s just wrong to put it in a PUBLIC location and then let it sit there all day for everyone to see. My 17 year old daughter is just getting into the political process. She asks me questions all the time.

How do I explain something like this to her? How do I explain to her why the city waited almost a full day before they took it down. I know I’m going to get people who say: “There you go. A typical white Fox anchor. Defending Trump.”

Well I’ve got a little secret for you. This has nothing to do with Fox. This has nothing to do with Democrats or Republicans. I’m from Berkeley. And in the primary I voted for an old guy from the Northeast.

To me, right is right. And wrong is wrong. And this is wrong.

We have VERY serious problems facing our country. This is a time for honest debate and discussion. Instead the media is fixated on this stupid statue and pretty much writing it off as a joke. I think that’s a shame.

I know there will be people who completely disagree with me. And I'd like to hear why. Just please keep the comments respectful. I'm not interested in getting into a yelling match. There's already enough of that on cable.
