Letter: Krauthammer column was misleading

Regarding Charles Krauthammer's March 20 column 'There's an air of menace about this campaign”:

I follow his column and usually respect his opinions although seldom agree with them. He stated in the referenced column that the recent shutdown of a Chicago rally for Donald Trump to be ' ... an act of deliberate sabotage created by a totalitarian left that specializes in the intimidation and silencing of political opponents.” This was not attributed to any factual source. I would suggest that Krauthammer consider the possibility that the support for that disruption quite probably came from within the Republican party itself.

I would suggest that it is, in my opinion, quite likely that the 'left” actually favors a Trump candidacy as opposed to someone like Sen. Cruz. In fact, the only vocal support for a 'stop Trump” campaign is from the Republican 'establishment” itself.

I think Krauthammer is losing some of his credibility when he automatically assigns guilt without thinking about what seems obvious.
