That is because the person sitting in the office is NOT the OFFICE of the Presidency. There have been some real stinkers who sat in that office, and citizens have every right to voice their opinions of the person in office.
“We also have to remember that in this country, the majority rules,” he added. “Even if you don’t agree with the outcome of an election, the majority rules. And I believe it doesn’t matter who is in office, you need to respect the office.
