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

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.

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.

Thank you all for your battle scars won in facing the current occupant, in combatting abuse, racism and obfuscation from one in a position that should be above this. The American public admires your strength and perseverance. May your skin be like Teflon, your energy unflagging, and your moral compass ever true.

Your input is invaluable at this awful time in our country’s history. Please continue to fight for accountability in this age of demogography led by the most inept excuse for a leader we have ever seen.

Thank you for your courage and integrity. This man is an obnoxious human being. Your class just throws shade on that cretin. Please continue to persist. You are relevant and important and necessary. We need your voice.

Ladies, I have followed your various media coverages, of the ongoings in this nation, for a long period of time. I admire your calm determination, in the midst of harsh opposition. As a woman of color, you have my greatest respect and support! One person cannot ever diminish your dignity! Onward, ladies!
