Hillary who? Media busybodies already trying (and failing) to dig up dirt on David French

As Twitchy told you, when Bill Kristol teased that “independent candidate” over the weekend, he reportedly had lawyer, veteran, and National Review writer David French in mind. Now, you can debate French’s actual chances at the presidency until you’re blue in the face, but the media would like to save you the trouble:

So it took, what, less than 60 minutes from a report for people to start pushing oppo on David French?

Hillary and Trump have been running for POTUS since last year, but they evidently weren’t worthy of the media’s scrutiny.

French, on the other hand:

So? Does he give interviews to women in bathtubs full of cereal and milk? Yell "You're fired" at people?

Think that oppo dirt’s pathetic? Check out this bombshell:

So when David French was in Iraq, he wouldn't let his wife e-mail men or use Facebook. https://t.co/F1tEOwE4sc pic.twitter.com/ZOOV52QXUN

It must be nice for you, knowing what other people’s marriages need.

No kidding. First of all, what exactly did French do that was so scandalous?

Yes, attack the Iraq War vet for the rules he and his wife jointly set for their relationship while he was deployed. https://t.co/dzAlhjzXla

— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) May 31, 2016

This is dishonest. Read the link: "…he and Nancy put together rules…" This was mutually agreed upon. #Shame

This person thinks a joint marital agreement is a sign of slavery b/c we have all lost our fucking minds

Almost as if they're committed to each other while recognizing temptation inherent with sacrificing time together. https://t.co/CbsNmhErRH

are you mocking this couple for exercising wisdom in their marriage?

— Heather (@SeamusORiley) May 31, 2016

That isn't what this says! Working together to set boundaries to preserve a commitment sounds like #RelationshipGoals to me.

There is nothing wrong with that. You clearly don't have a clue what it's like to be deployed or to have your mate deployed.

— littlepol (@littlepol) May 31, 2016

the text said that he & Nancy decided the rules together. Your tweet (intentionally?) mischaracterized the original

looks as if they both agreed to this…not just her. "Wouldn't let her" implies only she had to do this.

— The Gentleman Masher (@GentlemanMashr) May 31, 2016

Accurately stated, David and Nancy decided on rules they'd both follow. Kinda cool, if preserving a marriage matters.

— nom de guerre (@real_ndg) May 31, 2016

.@PoliticoKevin Article says they agreed on rules. You assume she couldn't have had any agency. #sexism

Yeah, well, it definitely proves that French doesn’t belong in the same field as the likes of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

Trump's first wife alleged rape in court documents and Hillary allegedly intimidated Bill's alleged rape victim. https://t.co/dzAlhjzXla

The stand-up conservative, natch.

Getting some fair criticism that this is a totally legitimate agreement for a married couple to make. I agree! Still interesting!

— Kevin Robillard (@Robillard) May 31, 2016

Yeah. If by “interesting” you mean “a shameless attempt at maligning a man who doesn’t deserve it.”
