Letter: President-as-pig cartoon is over the line

I don't expect anything except a liberal/progressive slant in everything I read in the Salt Lake City but the Bagley cartoon depicting the president of the United States as a pig is over the line.

It shows contempt and disrespect for the office of the president and is intolerable. I would be equally outraged if Bagley had depicted Barack Obama as a little brown monkey swinging by his tail from a tree. Of course, you wouldn't print such a thing, would you. Trump won, Hillary Clinton lost. Get over it. To quote Obama: "Elections have consequences."
