Rep. Myrick is a good conservative, but that letter — a transparent publicity stunt — is a shameful piece of demagoguery. No matter what you think about the issue, this deal does not involve “selling American ports” to the UAE. That’s a ridiculous overstatement. And while it doesn’t bother me in the least that someone might criticize the president, her tone is disrespectful. The whole thing reflects very poorly on her. I suggest that she rip up this letter and write a new one that actually makes an argument.
