Don’t throw stones

The vulgar comments Donald Trump made 11 years ago are disgusting and something to be ashamed of. But I also remember that the Bible says “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.”

Every one of us has said or done something that we would be embarrassed to become public.

Hillary Clinton has long been known as “potty-mouthed,” especially when addressing some of her husband’s flings. She was exposed by retired Secret Service agents, state troopers and White House staff as such.

When she cast the “stones”, she exhibited a disdain for the words of Christ. She is certainly not morally better or “fit to be president” than Trump.
