Sister Of Deceased Soldier Blasts The Atlantic For Latest Anti-Trump Fabrications
SUMMARY
The Atlantic is facing criticism over an article by editor Jeffrey Goldberg, which accuses former President Donald Trump of disrespecting Gold Star families, particularly the family of fallen soldier Vanessa Guillén. Mayra Guillén, Vanessa's sister, condemned the piece, stating, “I don’t appreciate how you are exploiting my sister’s death for politics — hurtful & disrespectful.” She asserted that Trump was respectful and supportive during their meeting. Goldberg alleged that Trump made derogatory comments about funeral costs, which Trump officials, including former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, denied, stating that Trump even offered to cover the expenses. Many have pointed out that the article lacks credible sources and relies on anonymous claims. Other Gold Star families have praised Trump for his kindness and engagement.
