To the editor:

Last Saturday at the Word of Life Church in Fort Myers the Lee County Republican Party with Michael Thompson, and friends, sponsored a bonanza of great political pundits and commentators who spoke about a wide variety of political issues. Chairman, Michael Thompson, and friends, tirelessly worked to gather political analyst, Roger Stone, former Congressman Madison Cawthorn, former UFC Champion, Tito Ortiz, National News Political Reporter, Neil W. McCabe, and Orlando’s conservative talk show host David Pollack to talk about current important political issues.

Mr. Stone spoke about the political weaponization of the U.S. Justice Department. He told us how the FBI stormed into his home at 6 a.m. in the morning with a SWAT team under politically motivated circumstances. He said this totally unnecessary abusive governmental act cost the American people $1.1 million dollars. Mr. Stone also spoke about election integrity issues, border control, and other topics. He concluded by stressing the importance of praying to God for our country.

Congressman Madison, currently a resident of Cape Coral, eloquently spoke about the importance of getting all Republicans out to vote in November to safeguard our traditional values in our country that are being assaulted by the left. He also spoke about abuses in the U.S. Justice Department. He indicated that many Justice Department officials will go after anyone just to get a promotion and to make a name for themselves.

Mr. Ortiz, who also is a resident of Cape Coral and owner of Tito’s Cantina Tequila Bar & Grille, spoke about the Jan. 6 injustices and how it may have been orchestrated by people in the government. He also spoke about how he believed the 2020 election was rigged.

Mr. McCabe spoke about journalism. He told us how true journalism is no longer practiced in Washington, D.C. or in the mainstream media. He told us that journalists just want to be liked and do not want to be called “crazy,” so they write accordingly. He also spoke about how polls can be manipulated to provide fake results.

Mr. Pollack, being an attorney as well as a talk show host, spoke a little about the criminal accusations against President Trump. He also spoke a little about the Veterans for Trump group that he is active in.

I want to give my wholehearted thanks to our Lee County Republican Chairman Michael Thompson and his friends, for organizing this excellent Republican event. Bravo for a job well done.
