FEEDBACK | Another anonymous smear against Trump
Will the current “Never Trump” character assassination attempts ever cease?
Doesn’t the latest attack on President Trump remind you of those of last January’s impeachment charade, when endlessly repeated hearsay testimony, re: his Ukraine interaction, was the smear weapon du jour?
How is it now, that an “alleged,” slanderous accusation regarding long dead (mostly conscripted) soldiery, made by an anonymous source, is being trumpeted daily as Election Day draws closer?
Doesn’t the so-called confirmation of the accusation by other anonymous sources really smell fishy?
Who are these accusers?
Instead, shouldn’t major media be investigating who and where the actual character assassins, authors of this libel, might be?
