'The Atlantic' Immediately Debunked After Attempting Yet Another Trump Military Hit Piece

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...p-military-hit-piece

The sister of slain soldier Vanessa Guillén slammed The Atlantic after it used anonymous sources to allege that President Donald Trump disparaged her after discovering the funeral expenses.

Guillén’s death at the hands of a fellow soldier and his girlfriend became national news in 2020, with Trump comforting the grief-stricken family and extending death benefits. He also offered to cover the costs personally if the Army did not pay for the funeral expenses.

The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg, however, attempted to rewrite history on Tuesday, claiming that Trump was outraged when he learned that Guillén’s funeral, which included heightened security and closed streets, cost $60,000.

According to the magazine—relying on an anonymous source—Trump allegedly said, “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!” and ordered then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to deny payment.

Guillén’s sister, Mayra, issued a viral statement on X, condemning The Atlantic’s distorted portrayal of her experience with Trump.

“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,” Mayra wrote on X, garnering over 3 million views.

“President Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to my family & Vanessa. In fact, I voted for President Trump today,” Mayra added.

In another post, Mayra emphasized that her sister’s death should never be politicized.

“Unbelievable,” she continued.

The denials did not stop there as Meadows took to X, refuting the allegations.

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

“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.”

Meadows’s spokesperson, Ben Williamson, explicitly denied that Trump ever made the remarks in comments provided before publication.

The Atlantic omitted these comments, claiming that Williamson denied ever hearing such remarks.

This marked the second instance of The Atlantic publishing demonstrably false claims against Trump.

The magazine previously claimed that Trump refused to visit a veteran cemetery because he allegedly called fallen soldiers “suckers” and “losers.”

It was later revealed that the cemetery trip was canceled due to poor weather, which required Trump to travel by helicopter.

Like I’ve said, they know Harris is losing and are desperate. We just have to make sure we vote.

Very true.

The sad part is that if Trump wins, they'll continue to write these tabloid articles because they have nothing better to do or lose. They increase their readership the more they disparage Trump, like Maddow did well on her show when Trump was in office.

They can write whatever. So, what else is new? BFD.

Except now there is precedent for lawsuits for hundreds of millions of dollars against those who have "made false claims".

Let the lawsuits fly.

My little town's (perhaps) best known communist has his home, yard, fence, ...everything, festooned with liberal/communist yard signs. One of these signs reads, "I AM A VETERAN - NOT A SUCKER OR LOSER".

I (and pretty much everyone else) have to drive by it every day and it's all I can do to not knock on this asshole's door.

Gwinnett County, Georgia, this evening. Take heart, fellow patriots.

Lame tired old worn out play. Just as lame as the race card that no one buys anymore. Yeah, the panic is in maximum overdrive.

Press Secretary Carlson.

The Donald doesn't need a press secretary, and I hope to God that they do away with these silly press conferences every damn day. I trust him to just do the job and let us know if there's anything we need to know. Once a week maybe? Hell, I'd be happy with once a month. They're nothing but dog-and-pony shows anyway.

I want Andrew Dice Clay to be Trump's next WH press secretary. He might last as long as Scaramucci did, but the memes and clips would be epic.

Draw nigh, my fellow patriots, and listen to Dr. Turley. Pay attention to the MSNBC clip at the beginning.

Let me check my notes here....

So Trump is Hitler, and a rapist.

Got it. Same shit we've been hearing since 2015.

*Yawn*

Anyone else want their economy back?
