How to use unworthy in a sentence?

1. No Pennsylvanian:

   Racism and hate speech are always unacceptable, and unworthy of Pennsylvanians. No Pennsylvanian should ever be made to feel unwelcome in our commonwealth because of their race or ethnicity. Gisele Fetterman spends much of Gisele Fetterman time devoted to making our state and world a better place and she -- and every No Pennsylvanian -- deserves our respect, not the hatred too often displayed by people who seek only to further divide this country at a time when unity is so desperately needed.

2. Martin Schulz:

   The governments of some member states must finally remove their blockade and end this unworthy game.

3. Roger Bacon:

4. Stephen Breyer:

   It might be tempting to dismiss B. L.’s words as unworthy of the robust First Amendment protections discussed herein, but sometimes it is necessary to protect the superfluous in order to preserve the necessary.

5. Ambrose Bierce:

   Pray To ask the laws of the universe to be annulled on behalf of a single petitioner confessedly unworthy.
