Letter: Opinion is pure craziness

By John Brunzell, Vancouver
Published: June 5, 2020, 6:00am

I often don’t read Jay Ambrose’s editorials because of the rhetoric he spews that is often baseless, extremely right-leaning and nonsensical. However, his diatribe titled “It’s time for Trump to consider honor” (June 2) appeared to be level-headed, and it was, until approximately the seventh paragraph where Jay climbs on the crazy wagon again. Let me correct some of the things Jay said.

Trump inherited the awakening economy, he didn’t create it. Trump bought into helping privately owned prisons make more profit, not to make it safer. Trump made the Middle East more volatile after abandoning the Iran deal, and ISIS was not destroyed by him (not sure where Jay got that). Also, the Paris climate accord could help the world become a healthier planet. Jay must be kidding when he says the Green New Deal would be comparable to the coronavirus. Nuclear power would be a better alternative? No.

Then he rants about Joe Biden. Oh, and then of course the ridiculous comment equating the Mueller probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election to the birther theory.

Jay, your opinion is pure craziness and instead of asking for Trump’s honor, where’s yours?
