Honorable Thomas Carper, Senior U.S. Senator from Delaware-washingtonexaminer.com

Please sir! Shall you listen to reason?

How can you say, “The Poetess is not worthy of her hire,”
when you cannot read?

Or, I ask, on what premise, do you base your ignorance, Mr. Trump?

If you were able to answer with the truth, Mr. President, you should,
consider this an insult. Otherwise, where lies your hope?

Not an actual quote from Senator Carper.

Response to Harper Thorpe’s one word prompt “Worthy.”
