"Mr. Gardner’s Fourth of July was devoid of public events, though on July 3, he could be seen on his front lawn in his hometown, Yuma, playing with squirt guns and smoke bombs with his children." (NYTimes 4 Jul 2017).

I don't begrudge him time with his family. I DO object to what he does/doesn't do on his public time. From plenty of experience, here in Greeley we know he employs an office barracuda who says she is there to help veterans and that's all.
