Karen Ohl: A great Republican wanted to tear down walls, not build them
Donald Trump wants to wall us in from the rest of the world. Quite a contrast from another Republican (Ronald Reagan), who on June 12, 1987, in West Berlin, said: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” The wall had divided East and West Berlin since 1961, separating families. I remember a classmate in our college speech class crying as she shared her anguish. Don’t fence me in Mr. Trump!
