commentary on article in USA today

Today I read an article in the USA today written by Josh Hafner which I would like to comment about. I felt that the article was poorly written and not easy to follow. My impression was that he wrote it in a hurry and did not take the time to check it for grammar or readability. It appeared that he was trying to make the argument that Trump's selection of Steve Bannon shows a propensity for hatred in the Trump organization. I find his whole article to be both presumptuous and preposterous.

Since Trump won the election, there has been a steady stream of hate, innuendo, and outright lies spewed by the political left. Josh refers to something written on a web site two years ago which is attributed to Steve Bannon. He presents one sentence, specifically ignores the context in which the statement was made, and then LEAPS to the conclusion that Trump is therefore approving of spewing hatred. It is the height of hypocrisy for Josh to even hint of hate within the Trump administration when there has been nothing but hateful language and actions taken by the political left after the election. The left continues to demand that any and all effort to 'heal the nation' must come from Trump even as they heap as much dung on him as possible. Josh's article, his assertions, and his attitude are all a continuance of the ongoing hate campaign from the political left, and really isn't worth the effort of struggling through his inept writing.
