The Boston Globe unpublished an opinion column Thursday that strongly suggested waitstaff in restaurants “tamper” with the food of Trump officials, saying the piece did not receive proper editorial scrutiny. They also stressed that its author, Luke O’Neil, was not a staff writer for the paper.
“The Globe Opinion page has removed from its website an April 10 column by Luke O’Neil on former homeland security chief Kirstjen Nielsen because it did not receive sufficient editorial oversight and did not meet Globe standards,” the paper said in a note to readers affixed to the top of the Opinion section Thursday.
