Personal Integrity in the Era of Trump
“I was able to do my part to defend this nation in a meaningful manner, and expose corruption by the president.” – Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, Former Director for European Affairs for the United States National Security CouncilSome of us will be able to live with ourselves after all this is over, Vindman certainly among them.
In a way, I feel sorry for the others. Trump has ruined countless lives, in dozens of different ways, none the least of which is forcing them to compromise their integrity so profoundly that it’s hard to imagine that they’re capable of self-respect.
Aren’t we all glad we’re not a parent of White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany? Speaking for myself, knowing that my daughter is a professional liar would not sit well with me.
Hats off to Col. Vindman. Thank you for your honesty. Sorry it cost you your job.
