Thank You Abby Phillip, Yamiche Alcindor and April Ryan!

Dear Abby Phillip, Yamiche Alcindor and April Ryan,

Thank you for your commitment to honest reporting on the White House. In spite of the verbal abuse and attempts to silence you, you persisted and asked the Trump administration tough questions to hold them accountable.

You confronted Trump on the Mueller investigation, voter suppression in the midterm elections, and challenged his divisive rhetoric and close ties to white nationalism.

We admire your grit in the face of dismissive and demeaning language, and we appreciate your dedication to keeping the American public informed.

In solidarity,

Your Supporters

Thank you for holding this administration accountable and being the only institution able to be a check on this president. Despite the constant insults by this president, the administration, and his supporters, you continue to speak truth to power and for that the American people are so thankful. I’m sorry your job has become harder and that death threats are now a part of your job but know there are so many people thankful for your work.

The real Press freedom story is what is happening to Julian Assange. Your stories are just a distraction.

Thank you all for standing up for journalistic integrity and holding the “president” accountable. The way he treats you is nothing short of evil, and his racism and sexism towards you all could not be more blatant. I’m so sorry you have to deal with that ass hole on a regular basis, and from the bottom of my heart, thank you for continuing to do your jobs, even when it sucks.

You’re all amazing, and I look up to each one of you. Solidarity!

Dear Abby Philip, Yamiche Alcindor & April Ryan,

Thank you for your excellent reporting. You are keeping Americans informed and as such, giving us a vital voice we may not otherwise necessarily have. I’m profoundly apologetic for the tone Trump has taken with each of you and hope you are all aware that this is not representative of the feelings of civil and fair-minded Americans. I admire each of you for your past accomplishments and will cheer you on for your continued efforts, even in the face of adversity, to keep the American public informed. You have my deepest support and gratitude.
Mark Perlman commented 2018-11-17 07:30:43 -0800

Thank you for your commitment to fine journalism. You fine, intelligent women are to be congratulated for continuing to challenge the horrors of this presidency. God bless you. Keep up the great work and please don’t be deterred by this racist president.
