To the editor:

In 1954, a courageous U.S. Army attorney, Joseph Welch, famously asked the assaultive Senator Joseph McCarthy, “At long last, Sir, have you no decency?”

Amazingly this simple question put an abrupt end to the shameful lies and smears of the Senator who had nearly destroyed the lives of many honest, decent Americans with his “high-minded,” bullying interrogations.

Now that we've all witnessed a remarkable number of outright lies from a certain political party in disbelief that their beloved, (blatantly crooked), candidate did not win the presidential election, I ask, Where is the current-day “Joseph Welch” who will ask - demand! - once again, “At long last, Republican politicians, have you no decency?!”

I am hopeful - (well, perhaps merely “wishful”) - that a new “Mr. Welch” will emerge soon to courageously steer our democracy, and our many gullible voters, away from outright liars who are content to spread disinformation - against all evidence to the contrary - for their own self-serving, misguided and nefarious purposes.
