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

I cannot express how much I appreciate your courage and persistance in not backing down from the bully in chief in spite of his mistreatment and attempts to silence you. I admire you even more because of your gender and skin color and what that represents to the misogynist racist currenly occupying th White House. You frighten him.

In my lifetime I never dreamed I would see such churlish behavior from the President of the United States. You ladies are on the front line of DJT’s irrational behavior. Thanks for all you do! Stay strong!

You are all heroes. I’m sorry you have been treated with such abominable behavior. I hope you know those of us with two eyes and a brain support you and your incredible journalism and would love for you to keep it up! If you need breaks from the man-child’s attacks, please take them. Self care is important – most especially when you are on the front lines of such attacks. You are loved and we will do anything to support you and your very important and exceptional journalism. Thank you for what you do every day. With the utmost respect.

Ms. Ryan- we met at your talk at SMCM earlier this year. From one April Ryan to another- keep doing what you’re doing!!! You’re an inspiration, and while the “president’s” insults are ignorant and unjust- your fight and perseverance are worth it!!! I won’t be shocked when the history books mention you!
