He posted the letter on instagram from a Mr Robert W Kalman:
As you can see, the fan, in the letter dated April 25, was extremely upset with Grahams decision.
I always felt you are an all right regular guy, who loved America, but you have clearly shown your intense hatred towards America! the fan wrote. I am appalled that you and a couple of your ahole teammates are turning down an offer made by President Trump to visit our nations White House, as the Super Bowl Football Champions
The fan says if he owned the Eagles, he would cut any player, including Graham, who decides not to go to the White House.
To say I am totally disappointed in your decision is tremendously understated. And as a result I am no longer a fan of yours. It would be great news, to me, to see you let go from the team, he wrote.
The fan then added a handwritten piece, suggesting Graham share the note with his teammates so they know how a long time Eagle fan feels about you miserable bastards.

So I googled the celebrated Mr K and found this letter he wrote claiming to be a registered Democrat for 65 years:
I was a registered Democrat for 65 years and voted for President Trump. It is my feeling the president wants to do only what is best for our country, if given a fair chance.
I have an extremely difficult time trying to understand the never-ending vicious attacks on our president by brainwashed Democrats, Trump haters and "swamp rats." What has Trump done that is not in the best interest of our country? What do you want him to do? Nothing, like President Obama did for his eight years?
The methods used to attack him are the dirtiest, most underhanded and most illegal ever used in our country. Democrats, Trump haters and "swamp rats" are in their glory, and just can't seem to get enough of the trumped-up lies being told. They will say and do anything to get him out of office.
Democrats are only interested in destroying President Trump. They don't care if our country also fails.
If you don't like President Trump, vote him out in 2020. Until then try your best to support him. Can the bitterness and hatred, and America will be a much better place to live .

Wonder if Mr Kalman is related to David Dennison?

(118,282 posts)Assuming that the letter is genuine, Mr Kalman must be quite elderly: if he registered as a Democrat 65 years ago, he was probably at least 21 then, which would make him at least 86 now. At that age he may not get out much and may not have access to information, except what he hears on TV --- so what's the point of attacking him?

(31,823 posts)He's got to be in his mid 80's. Not all folks in that age group are isolated - but he may very well be.

(15,939 posts)I just assumed it was written by some trumpmonkey or Russian bot. I used to read the 10 page Boston Metro subway paper going to work and every other day some guy would write letters to the editor bashing libs, feminists, gays etc. I smell a rat with this guy.

(15,939 posts)A guy whos supposed to be in his late 80s wrote this? My parents were that age and couldnt even write a grocery list. Like I said, I smell a rat.
Democrats and Trump-haters have tried every dirty trick to get rid of our legally elected president, with phony charges of collusion. FBI and Justice Department personnel have an intense hatred toward him, charging he is mentally unfit. Why should all that insanity be allowed to continue? It's an abuse of free speech.
Masses of the general public have been so brainwashed with the 24/7 continuous onslaught of fake news reporting by the media that they think President Trump is the most evil person in the world. Maybe his opponents can begin to spread a rumor that Trump has the plague and that anyone who is within 100 miles of him will be met with certain death.
America finally has elected someone who knows how to lead and get things done for America.
The last guy who was president was someone who did nothing about anything and got our country into a mess, with open borders, drugs, gangs, illegal aliens, police hatred, ISIS, $10 trillion of additional debt, selling our uranium to the Russians, allowing drug cartels to operate freely in America, etc. Quite the man our former president was.

Mr. Kaiman and those opposing any form of peaceful protest are utterly un-American and unpatriotic.
Did Mr. Kaiman write the kind of letter to those who refused visits to the WH when President Obama was in office?
Hmmm...or are Russian bots now writing letters?

(128,990 posts)So this guy should technically be at least 88 years old (which my mother would have been this year), assuming registering @ 21 and then claiming to have been registered for 65 years before voting for Drump (almost 2 years ago).

We have not become Russia YET. We supposedly still have rights, free speech etc.

(16,926 posts)I believe a decline to "visit" the White House as long as the Russian traitor is in it shows a love for the United States of America and respect for the rights of all!
