Gold Star families and former White House officials are slamming Jeffrey Goldberg’s attempt to smear Trump with another fallacious hit piece. //
Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of far-left propaganda outlet The Atlantic, published an article Tuesday with glaring fabrications about former President Donald Trump’s interactions with the families of fallen service members and his outlook on military leadership.
Goldberg’s dishonest hit piece is the latest in a long line of far-left outlets lying and deceiving the American people before a major election. //
While Goldberg’s claims are sourced by “contemporaneous notes” and “a witness,” they were disputed publicly by senior members of the Trump administration who were actually in the room at the time of the alleged incident. //
Goldberg’s smear piece is in line with his 2020 lie, the “suckers and loser” hoax that was also heavily rebutted by nearly everyone involved, which he originated late in the election season as well. Conveniently, Democrats have since been rolling that hoax out every time Trump mentions the military, as they did again in the aftermath of Trump attending the Arlington National Cemetery ceremony.
As my colleague Jordan Boyd wrote, “Nearly two dozen Trump White House officials debunked the hit piece, which only received ‘confirmation’ from one source outside of Goldberg.” In the same way, Goldberg’s newest screed is thinly sourced and relies on anonymous testimony while ignoring or devaluing on-the-record statements.
Goldberg also appears to have invented out of thin air a denial from Meadows spokesman Ben Williamson, saying that Meadows “denied having heard Trump make the statement.” In reality, Meadows said Trump “absolutely did not say that.”

On the left: I sent Atlantic a comment saying President Trump “absolutely did not say that,” referring to the alleged comments about Ms. Guillen they printed.
On the right: Atlantic translated that comment to “didn’t hear Trump say it.”
Treat this dishonest piece accordingly.
