To the Editor:

Just a note to let you know that I did not like your Opinion editorial about the Red Hen restaurant incident. Maybe you did not intend for the article to be completely negative about President Trump, but it was. In my opinion you wanted your readers to think that you were really trying to be honest and sincere in what was good for the country; however, honest writing did not happen. In your writing you said that: 

“… the owner asked her into a relatively private area before asking her to leave. There was no heckling, no loud showing off, no tweeting to millions about the incident or insulting to anyone.”

You were telling the public readers what a kind, and thoughtful person this owner was. But you did not tell us the rest of the story. 

The real truth is that Secretary Sanders’ family went across the street to another restaurant after the Red Hen owner refused service. Well guess what happened? According newspaper accounts, the Red Hen owner followed the Sanders family and organized a protest. The protesters were yelling and screaming at them from outside the other restaurant.  

Your Opinion piece would have been so much better if you could have said at least one little ole piece of information about President Trump that was positive. But you did not! 

I certainly agree that the President Trump has used language that I would not use; however, a lot of Americans, including your readers, think highly of the accomplishments of our president. President Trump has a good chance of being reelected because the citizens of our great nation know that changes must be made in the way we govern. You would have to agree that for the past 20 years before President Trump, our country has not handled its problems very well.  

Your Opinion piece would have been better if you had told us the whole truth about he actions of the Red Hen owner.
