Letter to the editor: Republican civility

To the editor:

The Lawrence Journal-World’s opinion page of Feb. 6 published an article written by Mark Shields.

In the article Shields riles against Vice President Mike Pence for using the word “Democrat” instead of “Democratic” in his speech. Shields claims these words were used to disdain his political adversaries.

Maybe Shields should take his own advice. In the article, he calls Pence “a John F. Kennedy-admiring Catholic” and a Republican evangelical Christian.

Shields claims that Pence was not being civil to the Democratic party. Maybe Shields should check his own civility.
