The Atlantic Accuses Trump Of Disparaging Slain Soldier. The Soldier's Family Responds.

[Ubiquitous]

With just two weeks until Election Day, Left-leaning magazine The Atlantic
published an article on Tuesday accusing former President Donald Trump of
disparaging a slain U.S. Army private in 2020.

The Atlantic story, which was written by editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg,
claims that Trump “became angry” when he learned how much the funeral bill
was for soldier Vanessa Guillén. The deceased 20-year-old, a daughter of
Mexican immigrants, was murdered by a fellow soldier at Fort Hood in April
2020. After her death, Trump spoke to her family at the White House and
offered to cover the cost of her funeral, Fox News reported.

Goldberg cites “attendees” and “contemporaneous notes of the meeting taken by
a participant” to report that Trump fumed when he learned how much the family
billed the White House for the funeral. According to The Atlantic, Trump
responded by telling his staff, “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a
f***ing Mexican!” Goldberg then wrote that the then-president ordered his
chief of staff, Mark Meadows, not to pay the bill.

Natalie Khawam, the Guillén family’s attorney, responded to The Atlantic’s
story on X, accusing Goldberg of lying and exploiting her clients “for cheap
political gain.”

“After having dealt with hundreds of reporters in my legal career, this is
unfortunately the first time I have to go on record and call out Jeffrey
***@the Atlantic: not only did he misrepresent our conversation but he
outright LIED in HIS sensational story,” Khawam wrote. “More importantly, he
used and exploited my clients, and Vanessa Guillen’s murder… for cheap
political gain.”

“I would like to also point out that the timing of this ‘story’ is quite
suspicious, as this supposed conversation that Trump had would have occurred
over 4 years ago! Why a story about it now?!” she added. “As everyone knows,
not only did Trump support our military, he also invited my clients to the
Oval Office and supported the I Am Vanessa Guillen bill too.”

Guillén’s sister, Mayra, also responded to The Atlantic piece and defended
Trump, writing, “Wow. 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. President Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to
my family & Vanessa. In fact, I voted for President Trump today.”

Despite the Guillén family’s quick refutation of The Atlantic story,
Goldberg’s piece gained attention in the mainstream media with outlets, such
as CBS News, covering it. Shortly after publication, however, Guillén’s
family blasted Goldberg and his “sensational story.”

'CBS Evening News' anchor Norah O'Donnell opened the show with The
Atlantic story:

"Two weeks from Election Day, as the final battleground sprint is
underway. Every hour matters for these candidates as they try to reach
as many voters as possible in the key states that will…

Meadows also pushed back against The Atlantic’s claims.

“I was in the discussions featured in the Atlantic’s latest hit piece against
President Trump. Let me say this. Any suggestion that President Trump
disparaged Ms. Guillen or refused to pay for her funeral expenses is
absolutely false,” Meadows said. “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.”

Ben Williamson, who was a spokesman for Meadows when he was Trump’s chief of
staff, said he told The Atlantic before the piece was published that Trump
“absolutely did not say that” regarding Guillén’s funeral bill. In The
Atlantic piece, Goldberg wrote that Meadow’s spokesman “denied having heard
Trump make the statement.”

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. pic.twitter.com/pM1o1c9fEm

Fox News anchor John Roberts added, “I was in the Oval Office (pool
correspondent) the day Vanessa Guillen’s family visited. The meeting was
somber, respectful, and according to Vanessa’s sister Mayra, very much
appreciated.”

This isn’t the first article Goldberg has written based on anonymous sources
accusing Trump of disparaging military members. In September 2020, just weeks
before the election, Goldberg published a story that alleged Trump called
Americans who die in war “losers” and “suckers.” That piece was also refuted
by Trump and numerous Trump administration officials who were present.

as CBS News, covering it. Shortly after publication, however, Guillén?s
family blasted Goldberg and his ?sensational story.?
'CBS Evening News' anchor Norah O'Donnell opened the show with The
"Two weeks from Election Day, as the final battleground sprint is
underway. Every hour matters for these candidates as they try to reach
as many voters as possible in the key states that will?

Meadows also pushed back against The Atlantic?s claims.
?I was in the discussions featured in the Atlantic?s latest hit piece against
President Trump. Let me say this. Any suggestion that President Trump
disparaged Ms. Guillen or refused to pay for her funeral expenses is
absolutely false,? Meadows said. ?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.?
Ben Williamson, who was a spokesman for Meadows when he was Trump?s chief of
staff, said he told The Atlantic before the piece was published that Trump
?absolutely did not say that? regarding Guillén?s funeral bill. In The
Atlantic piece, Goldberg wrote that Meadow?s spokesman ?denied having heard
Trump make the statement.?
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.?

Fox News anchor John Roberts added, ?I was in the Oval Office (pool
correspondent) the day Vanessa Guillen?s family visited. The meeting was
somber, respectful, and according to Vanessa?s sister Mayra, very much
appreciated.?
This isn?t the first article Goldberg has written based on anonymous sources
accusing Trump of disparaging military members. In September 2020, just weeks
before the election, Goldberg published a story that alleged Trump called
Americans who die in war ?losers? and ?suckers.? That piece was also refuted
by Trump and numerous Trump administration officials who were present.

Well the Atlantic isn't fit to wrap cat litter in so there's that.

Well, they are quoting decorated four-star generals who are on the
record and backed up by dozens of Trump insiders, so there's that.

A set up by liars.

They're desperate now that Trump has the momentum. Nothing is
sticking though since we've heard all the lies before.

I put more confidence in multiple four-star generals than I do in a man
with 30,000+ recorded lies while in office.
