It can be mentioned because a Freeper did and I am sure the MSM will mention it if there is anything to it which I surely doubt there is. It was a long time ago when he was still married and getting a divorce and that was the rumor that was flying around. You won’t find an internet source because the MSM will get it from Microfiche probably. Much before Windows 95.
I didn’t say it couldn’t be mentioned. If there are rumors out there, Thompson supporters do need to know about them. But I just think the source should be provided so we know the details.
Thanks to freespirited for providing three of them in post 113. There are inconsistencies; one said it happened in 1959 (Fred would have been 16 or 17 then), another said the early nineties (Fred would have been divorced several years by then), and your Freeper source said that it happened when he was still married. Even so, there are enough details to cause concern (Thompson fathered a child with another mans wife in East Tennessee; she was chairman of the Republican Party in her county and traveled with Thompson; the story was relayed many times by her husband as being the reason for their divorce).
