In response to Larry Henkels’ letter to the editor (“Entitled to his opinion,” May 28), he should have fact-checked his claim that Barack Obama weaponized the IRS, CIA and the FBI. This is totally false, as it was done so by the Bush administration after the 9/11 bombings.

Poor Donald Trump. He has now told more than 16,000 lies and is still going. He has seriously hurt people with his accusations.

Henkels should get his priorities straight now that we are in the middle of COVID-19.
