Low-Octane Gaslighting – THE ATLANTIC

Just the voices who posture about “misinformation” engaging in election interference.

In today’s explosive dose of journalism malpractice comes a “report” that Donald Trump offered to cover the funeral expenses of a fallen soldier, but when notified of the actual expense he raged about it, and supposedly invoked racial epithets about the female heroine.

The remarkable thing is that when first seeing the contents, one thought came to mind — this sounds like a Jeffrey Goldberg garbage hit piece all over again. Annnnd — guess what…

Goldberg goes right back to his methodology of his infamously roundly disproven claim Trump called fallen soldiers “suckers and losers” for getting killed. Once again, he cites unnamed sources, but this time he is being countered instantly.

Supposedly, Trump said these things to Mark Meadows, and the former administration figure disputes the story concerning the conversation he was involved in.

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,........
