A column suggested waiters could 'tamper' with Trump officials’ food. Amid backlash, the Boston Globe pulled it. 'They completely cut my throat on this,' the author said. 'I will never write for them again.'

By Allyson Chiu Allyson Chiu Reporter with the Morning Mix team Email Bio Follow April 12 at 8:19 AM The roughly 1,200-word op-ed that appeared on the Boston Globe’s website Wednesday began with the author looking back on one of his “biggest regrets” in life — “not pissing in Bill Kristol’s salmon.
Rather than quell the outrage, though, the decision incensed others, including O’Neil, who slammed the publication’s integrity. The Globe did not respond to multiple requests for comment on Thursday. The final lines of the column, which bore the headline, “Keep Kirstjen Nielsen unemployed and eating Grubhub over her kitchen sink,” appeared to take things a step further. “As for the waiters out there, I’m not saying you should tamper with anyone’s food, as that could get you into trouble,” O’Neil wrote. “You might lose your serving job. But you’d be serving America. And you won’t have any regrets years later.
“I really like the lead,” O’Neil told The Post in an interview late Thursday night. “I think it’s a really good lead. . . . It’s evocative.”“I wasn’t really advocating to piss in somebody’s food, that’s crazy,” said O’Neil, who had been writing weekly columns for the Globe. “But I do think these people should be made uncomfortable in public. I don’t think that’s a . . . radical idea.”
Shirley Leung, the newspaper’s interim editorial page editor, shared the article to Twitter on Wednesday.
