I agree with your comments on Marty Turner’s recent social media outburst. He appears to be in the same divisive camp as such prominent politicians as Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Sarah Palin and our current president. No race or religion has a corner on that market. As my mother often said “Empty barrels make the most noise.”
