Dear Editor:
Letter-writer Jeffrey Ojeda Bellinger (December 15) reacted to the statement of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America in defense of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and the UCCA’s condemnation of “anti-immigrant voices” in the media who have questioned his character. Mr. Bellinger cited favorable coverage by The New York Times, National Public Radio and The Washington Post, among other outlets, to support his conclusion that “Lt. Col. Vindman does not seem to be on the Endangered Species list,” but he completely disregarded the right-wing media stories about Lt. Col. Vindman having a dual loyalty.
Most alarmingly, on October 28, three Fox News personalities, host Laura Ingraham, former Republican Congressman Sean Duffy of Wisconsin and former Justice Department lawyer John Yoo questioned Lt. Col. Vindman’s loyalty to the United States.
