Fake news purveyor (that means liar) Jeffrey Goldberg is making a stab at an “October surprise” to help Democrats win the 2024 election with a false story about Trump supposedly disparaging a U,S, soldier who died in service.

Goldberg published his latest lie in The Atlantic with the claim that Trump made fun of a slain Mexican-American Army private when he was president the first time. The partisan liar claimed that the story came from Natalie Khawam, the attorney for the family of the slain soldier, 20-year-old Vanessa Guillén.

Guillén was murdered in 2020 by another soldier at Fort Hood. When her body was discovered and preparations were made to bury the soldier, Trump reportedly disparaged the dead soldier.

“It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!” Goldberg claims Trump said of the Mexican-American soldier.

But Khawam is now saying that Goldberg is lying.

“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 Goldberg@the Atlantic: not only did he misrepresent our conversation but he outright LIED in HIS sensational story,” Khawam wrote on X. “More importantly, he used and exploited my clients, and Vanessa Guillén’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?!”

“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. I’m grateful we were successful in getting bipartisan support of the I Am Vanessa Guillen Act, and because of everyone’s hard work and efforts our service members now have more protections and rights while serving our country,” she added.

Guillén’s sister, Mayra Guillén, also slammed Goldberg’s lies.

“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,” Guillén said. “President Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to my family & Vanessa. In fact, I voted for President Trump today.”

“My sister’s death was never to be politicized. Unbelievable,” she said in another post.

Once again, folks, you can’t hate the media enough.
