By now you’ve certainly heard of Jeffrey Goldberg’s piece published in The Atlantic Thursday night featuring four anonymous sources who paint President Trump as disparaging of the U.S. military, calling them “losers” and “suckers.” We think we’re up to 10 sources who’ve gone on the record to counter that portrayal and several more anonymous sources who’ve confirmed the story to those in the press.

Now, I abhor any explicit disparagement of America’s finest – our military. Personally, it’d be disrespecting my oldest son….

and so many other family members, and in general it’d show the disparager unfit to tie our vets’ combat boots.
But before agreeing with The Atlantic’s latest claim that our Commander in Chief grossly disrespects our military,…

I offer experience showing a biased, intolerant, sexist medium full of left-wing activists, not rational, credible journalists.
Consider the source.

That was Andrew Sullivan who was a Trig-truther, but The Atlantic took his pieces and ran with them, so that’s no excuse. Maybe someone could remind Pete Buttigieg how Democrats and the media treated “John McCain Republicans” and his choice of a running mate.
SPOT ON.
