Obeidallah: Red Hen Kicking out Sanders an Example of ‘Going High’ When Trump Goes Low

EXCERPT:

OBEIDALLAH: “This is the First Amendment act. This is speaking truth to power. This is not us going low. Going low is Donald Trump trying to ban Muslims and ban transgender Americans from our military, defending Rob Porter, a man who beat his two ex-wives, the list goes on of Donald Trump demonizing, lying, attacking our press. That is going low. Going high is fighting for the values of this country. That’s what Progressives are about. Sounds a little big here, but we are the patriots in this fight. That’s how I feel. I'm telling you, when I speak to Progressives around the nation, this is palpable. To us, this is a fight for the soul of this country. Donald Trump’s vision is vastly different. In fact, I see very little overlap between Trump's vision of America and American values, at least the way we see American values.”
