Letter to the Editor

In response to “Something substantial” published on Sept. 6.

In a letter to The Malibu Times, Sasha Maslansky states that he is “sick of the disrespect that Arnold York continues to show to our president.” 

I am sick of the disrespect that Mr. Trump has shown to every American, except for extremists who share Trump’s uninformed positions and the super-wealthy who profit from Trump’s “take from the needy, give to the greedy” policies. 

Arnold York is doing what a newspaper editor should do. 

“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.”

—Theodore Roosevelt.
