I always look forward to your opinions. I have been appalled by many of Vance's comments, despite his turbulent childhood he seems to lack empathy for people who live differently from him.

This is great! Sarcasm is a form of aggression often used as an excuse when telling inappropriate and offensive jokes. A form of violent language. Not acceptable. Thanks for your writing and wisdom!

As always, you capture the heart of a topic with facts, intelligence, empathy and humor. Wish I could say the same about anything the Republican ticket utters.

Succinct. Logical. Perfect. Thank you.

Vance was a candidate when he did the Tucker Carlson interview, not a Jr Senator. The composition of congress was not as stated in this article in 2021. No one person speaks for any group, just like you do not speak for all white men, all teachers, all people from Des Moines, all Drake grads, etc. Washington had 6 stepchildren, not biological children. You seem to get an incredible amount wrong as well.

You make some very important points. I have added clarifications and written a correction at the bottom of the column to clarify the mistake. I apologize for the error.

We should all have our facts straight and speak from a place of empathy and respect.
