Sen. Jeff Woodburn of Whitefield is the Senate Democratic Leader and represents the North Country in the N.H. Senate.
Ernest Hemingway opined, “Don’t confuse movement for action.” Or better yet, words for deeds. The brouhaha over President Donald Trump’s most recent, offensive sham that he won the New Hampshire primary because our state is a “drug-infested den” isn’t simply a childish rant — it’s dangerous language that vilifies those suffering with addiction and smears an entire state dealing with a serious public health and public safety crisis.
Trump’s outrageous comments shouldn’t be dismissed, as some of my Republican Senate colleagues have said, as “the president being the president,” or that the president “got out a little bit further than he should have with his language.”
