#24) Wrong


February 26, 2017

Dear Mr. President,

There are things that you can do as president that are not illegal, but they are wrong; really, really wrong.  Wrong in a way that most people in the country would agree is wrong.  Wrong like if you asked a 7th grader – who knows nothing about the law – they would say it is wrong.  Just wrong with a capital "W".  Wrong like something that will be discussed in history books long after you are dead and gone, wrong.

That's what denying press access to CNN, NY Times, BBC, Politico, and the others was.  It was wrong.  It wasn't illegal (which is good given the travel ban kerfuffle 2 weeks ago), but it was wrong and someone in your position, surrounded with as many advisors as you are, should have known that.  Isn't this just common sense?

I can't really say much more about this without devolving into cursing and flying off the handle.  So let's just leave it there.

Sincerely,
Amy Beaton
