Roving Camera 6-20-19: Do you consider yourself patriotic?

I guess I am. I love my country. But I don’t love the president. He has no respect for this country. — Joseph, Retired, Dorchester
Absolutely. I was born in this country. I love my people.— Arthur, Transportation, Roxbury
Actually, no I don’t. To me, a patriot stands up for everybody. I only stand up for what I believe and what I know. — Jerome Brown, Chef, Roxbury
I am very patriotic. I did two-and-a half tours in Vietnam. I am a real American. My grandmother was a Cherokee. My great-grandmother was a slave. — Will L. Thornton, Retired, Dorchester
Yes. I believe in this society. We have a good system and a foundation for a good future. Other countries aren’t so fortunate. — Devin Simon, Writer, Dorchester
Yes. I care very much about what’s going on in the U.S. with homelessness and racial inequities. I think that makes me patriotic. — Lesica Buford, Disabled, Dorchester
