To the editor:

One of your reporters wrote a letter entitled “Mistakes were made” and other lies that shuddered USAID. The article may have been partly accurate but the cartoon showing Elon Musk and President Trump was another “Mistake that was made” at the behest of the article. I imagine there must be a website that journalists go to find misleading and inflammatory cartoons about persons they disagree with. Usually meant to prompt a negative response from readers of your newspaper. The cartoon shows Elon Musk with his arm out as the followers of Hitler did in the 1930’s and 1940’s, Paying homage to a dictator who killed millions of people during WWII. As any informed person would know Elon Musk was not doing a Heil Hitler salute, he was thumping his heart and reaching out to the people who had asked him to weed out corruption and waste in this corrupt portion of our government that has become poisoned by self-interest spending by crooked politicians. As anyone who checks both sides of the news organizations will tell you he was responding to crowd acceptance and not throwing a Nazi salute. The article seemed to me to be an attempt to smear someone. Nothing more, nothing less. And to use such an abhorrent example as a Nazi salute is, in my opinion, heartless to the people who suffered under Hitler’s rule, and the ones who fought and died to free us from Hitlers rule. Show some class!
