| Yes, here is a powerful and relevant quote from **Theodore Roosevelt** (from his speech *“Lincoln and Free Speech”* at the Sorbonne, Paris, on April 23, 1910):
> **“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. … To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”**
This directly affirms that true patriotism includes holding leaders accountable when they are wrong—especially the president.
