The "****ing Mexican" Comment Shouldn't be Overshadowed

To me this is as disgusting and potentially more damaging to Donald. It’s racism targeted at a demographic we need to win back and it’s once again disrespectful of the military. And it’s also sick to promise to pay for anyone’s funeral and then refuse to pay when you get the bill.

The John Kelly Hitler stuff may land, but a number of people won’t take it seriously. They’ll believe Kelly, but think the threat of dictatorship is just fear mongering.

The funeral piece and the revelation about not wanting to retrieve bodies of lost soldiers bc they “failed” has more damage potential and shouldn’t be swept off to the side.

This didn't happen and even in The Atlantic's story on this they have an X post from the sister saying it never happened.  I can't believe the Atlantic even published the article.  (yeah, I can, but wow.)

The DUmmies are eating that shit up!

A glimpse of the real world from Vanessa Guillen's sister Mayra's X post, https://x.com/mguilen_/status/1848824382572900374 :

Wow.
I don’t appreciate how you are exploiting my sister’s death for politics- hurtful & disrespectful to the important changes she made for service members. President Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to my family & Vanessa. In fact, I voted for President Trump today.

My emphasis.

Of course, facts do not matter to DU-Folk when facts contradict what they want to believe is true.

I was in the discussions featured in the Atlantic’s latest hit piece against President Trump. Let me say this.

Any suggestion that President Trump disparaged Ms. Guillen or refused to pay for her funeral expenses is absolutely false.

He was nothing but kind, gracious, and wanted to make sure that the military and the U.S. government did right by Vanessa Guillen and her family.

Literally not a single person mentioned in the story is saying that this is true.

- The soldier’s sister
- The family’s lawyer
- Mark Meadows
- Former Trump staffers who were there.

Another Jeffrey Goldberg masterclass lying

Major TDS among the left.

I've noticed that TDS has a lot in common with rabies. The symptoms are really similar.

They need to be sued 

Yes they do.  And the "journalist" needs to be tarred and feathered.  This is election interference, plain and simple.  I've seen that story posted on a few websites and evidently none of the people posting it have read farther than the headline, or maybe the first paragraph.  The debunking goes on farther in the article.  Almost at the bottom.
