Letter to the Editor: Don’t judge

There is an aphorism that says, “if you cannot say something good about someone, do not say anything at all.”

One of the candidates running for one of the most highprofile, major offices in Tuesday’s general election has given in to the tried and true he-said, she-said rhetoric, but with a twist. It has been reported he has said people living in poverty lack “discipline” and “character.”

If he had the security of being part of a family that had money, basic necessities, educational opportunities and good health care, how can he judge others who have not had those same advantages? That smacks of hypocrisy to me. It sounds self-serving.
