Editorial cartoon was based on falsehoods

The Herald’s editorial cartoons are usually spot on but the Rivers (Cagel Cartoons) on July 1 was a direct untrue QAnon reference, inferring that Biden is a whole tree of corruption compared to Donald Trump’s small weed of indicted felonies. Especially with the recent release of the Burisma letter to the media that they had no communication with then Vice President Biden when Hunter Biden was working there, and there was never an attempt to influence him for company contracts.

As the Republicans (and FBI and CIA) cannot find any malfeasance with the Bidens in this area along with any Chinese business connections I feel this is just an attempt to drag down Joe Biden before the election. This cartoon is not helping by influencing those that don’t keep up with politics when they vote. This cartoon has no merit and your editors should do a better job in picking the diversity in editorial cartoons.

What’s the danger? Ask Hillary Clinton with what the Republicans (Trey Gowdy) and the Russians did to her with their lies and propaganda.
