Quote about earning respect was from Smith Barney ad

Published 1:30 am Wednesday, May 9, 2018

Regarding a May 1 letter to the editor (“Has Trump earned respect of Democrats that writer desires?”), the correct quote from the ad campaign was: “They make money the old-fashioned way, they earn it.”

It was from the Wall Street brokerage firm Smith Barney, not Washington Mutual. If the ad was misquoted to make a point about respect, what else may be questionable about the writers assertions?
