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
