Editor:
Thanks to the editor for giving us a forum to talk to people we might not otherwise know and appreciate. I will respond to “Characters of Integrity” (Mailbox, Oct. 3) by referring to the recent NY Times editorial board editorial listing over 90 quotes from department heads and support staff who worked for Trump in his administration. The gist was that Trump is unfit for the office of the presidency. I believe that exemplifies integrity. So that’s all I need to know as an independent to vote for Harris. Given that Trump fired many of these competent leaders such as Esper, Bolton, Kelly, etc., I believe he would only hire underlings subservient to his malignant ego in a second term. I agree that Gabbard and RFK would fit that bill. We deserve better leaders.
