New York Times Best Selling Author Richard Poe put out a great Twitter thread showing how Democrats attempted to smear Republican President Abraham Lincoln in 1864 by using a phony story about him disrespecting Union soldiers who had died.
1 of 3. Regarding @realDonaldTrump‘s alleged “suckers” and “losers” comments, this is an old Democrat trick. General McClellan used it while running against Lincoln in 1864. He leaked a false story about Honest Abe supposedly disrespecting the Union dead.https://t.co/2zEOIolrmE

2 of 3. A newspaper claimed that, while Lincoln was inspecting the corpse-strewn Antietam battlefield, he suddenly slapped a companion on the knee and asked him to sing a cheerful song. “Not now, if you please,” McClellan supposedly said, with a shudder.

3 of 3. The story was false, but the public did not learn the truth until 1895. SOURCE: Donald T. Phillips, LINCOLN ON LEADERSHIP, pp 70-72. pic.twitter.com/w1dT42gA3K

Democrats never change…
This comes on the heels of the far-left news site the Atlantic coming out with an unnamed story claiming President Trump called our veterans “suckers” and “losers”.
FOIA documents have debunked a major part of the anti-Trump hit piece in the Atlantic.
On that Atlantic Story – @JeffreyGoldberg and his “four sources” claim Trump’s helicopter flight to the US/French cemetery wasn’t cancelled due to weather.
FOIA docs prove this to be false.
Their “sources” are failing basic fact checks – making them essentially worthless. pic.twitter.com/wAa7FrSxoW

Three Eye Witnesses have now come out and debunked the anonymously sourced Atlantic story claiming President Trump attacked our heroes.
Notice how these people put their names on the record!
This is now the THIRD eyewitness ON RECORD saying it didn’t happen while the Atlantic’s sphincterbubbles quote “unnamed sources.”
They are the enemy of the people. https://t.co/i39KwfAbts

Former White House Press Secretary dumped cold water on the story:
These were some of the moments I witnessed the President show his heart and demonstrate how much he respects the selfless and courageous men and women of our military. I am disgusted by this false attack.

Two more eyewitnesses debunk the story:
The Atlantic story is completely false. Absolutely lacks merit. I’ve been by the President’s side. He has always shown the highest respect to our active duty troops and veterans with utmost respect paid to those who have given the ultimate sacrifice and those wounded in battle.

Again, this is 100% false. I was next to @POTUS the whole day! The President was greatly disappointed when told we couldn’t fly there. He was incredibly eager to honor our Fallen Heroes. https://t.co/8YZlWS83I3

We covered the story earlier today:
The left(the Mainstream Press) has officially found its new hoax.
This time it is brought to us by the Atlantic.
1/ President Trump, who never served in the military, canceled a 2018 visit to a cemetery where American troops are buried, saying: “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.†https://t.co/25GkwyjjJM
— The Atlantic (@TheAtlantic) September 3, 2020
4/ Why does Trump seem to disdain military service? “He has a lot of fear,†one officer with firsthand knowledge of Trump’s views said. “He doesn’t see the heroism in fighting.†https://t.co/25GkwyjjJM
— The Atlantic (@TheAtlantic) September 3, 2020
Pretty damning stuff right?
If true yes. However, Conservatives on Twitter are questioning whether this should be believed.
The Atlantic was just recently caught pushing a totally fake story about a police officer shooting a childhttps://t.co/0JSHo7v3iB
Now it is pushing a totally made up story about President Trump.

Arthur Schwartz has inside knowledge that this story was a Deep State hit.
The Anderson Cooper thing didn’t work out so these clowns went to The Atlantic. Spearheaded by John Kelly’s bag carrier and anti-Trump traitor, Zach Fuentes — nicknamed “ZOTUS†by folks in the WH because of his arrogance & delusions of grandeur. https://t.co/AaPptHQuBt

More from Conservatives on Twitter
When CNN reported DJT Jr. got the Wikileaks emails in advance, two other major news orgs confirmed the story.
The story was dead wrong and they were all using the same anonymous source. Media either need to start demanding names or exercising more restraint. https://t.co/DqOH70KQCG

I honestly didn’t think there was another level of this shit. Apparently there are no limits. The more incendiary and fantastical the anonymously-sourced imaginary quote, the more media blue-checkers will promote it. Could not possibly be more unprofessional than to spread this. https://t.co/gOdou52a4Z
— Jason Beale (@jabeale) September 4, 2020
I’m confident I have better sources within this White House than @JeffreyGoldberg, and I expect that upon investigation his anonymously sourced story will live up to the quality we can expect from The Atlantic under his leadership.
