Letter from Holocaust Survivors to Pittsburgh Jewish Community
The New York Times reported a number of years ago about and activist being removed from the White House after heckling the President.
President Obama displayed little patience with the heckler, telling her, “You’re in my house” before having her removed.

A couple of weeks ago, I took a quiz which was titled, "How well can you tell factual from opinion statements?"
Does the statement above fall into the fact or opinion category?
A comment posted under the NY TImes article included the following words:
It seems to me that a lot of people forget that Mr Trump is a public servant. The people that voted for him did it because he promised that he was going to do things for the country, and the press is the intermediary for us to know what he is doing so that we can judge his performance. The White House is NOT his castle, but a public building,...
Did the person who post the comment make the same assertion when President Obama called the White House, "my house?"
To answer your quiz question whether the above question fits into the opinion or the fact category: The FACT is that the President has the RIGHT to expel any journalist or anyone who (this one is infamously known) is rude, crude, lying, etc. from the hall. He is the President but journalists today seem to think they are gods and they rule when their leftist leanings are questioned in any way. The previous President was lauded no matter what and no one dared speak to him in such a rude manner. The society has become very sick, inasmuch as there are, it seems, those who agree with this tyrannical view by agreeing with the media and their intolerant unconstitutional views. The majority, thankfully, of Americans do not.
