I refer to your front-page Washington Post article of Oct. 11, “Ryan gives up on Trump in blow to party unity.”

The article addresses the aftermath resulting from presidential candidate Donald J. Trump revealing his true self in remarks captured on tape. As a result, many, if not most, high-ranking Republicans have separated themselves from their standard bearer as rapidly as they can.

The Post reported that Trump’s running mate, Mike Pence, “said that he does not condone what Trump said in the 2005 video, but that as a man of faith, ‘I believe in forgiveness.’ ”

I guess Pence’s faith-based belief in forgiveness does not extend to Hillary Clinton. Now, how hypocritical is that?
