"The story in The Atlantic has been categorically debunked by eye witnesses and contemporaneous documents," Trump said. "Behind me you will see an email from one of the President's miliary aids that clearly reads, 'We are a bad weather call for today's lift.' The Atlantic reporting is based on four, cowardly anonymous sources who probably do not even exist. Meanwhile within hours 10 sources, 10, went on the record debunking these lies, eight with first hand knowledge stating on the record one common truth, that this story is false. It never happened," McEnany said, adding testimony from two additional military officers that the story is not true. "Why would a publication abandon all journalistic integrity and publish this story? It's because the liberal activists at The Atlantic are uninteresting in the truth and they are only interested in peddling conspiracy laden propaganda because this is the one truth, no-one and I mean no-one, loves and cares for our servicemen and women as much as Donald J. Trump."

Scott Adams yesterday went over 6 reasons (at least) while this story is an obvious hoax—beginning with the timing.
“””””Why would a publication abandon all journalistic integrity and publish this story?””””””””””
There hasn’t been any journalistic integrity in this country for many years.
I say everyone should start watching who Jennifer Griffin cozy’s up to in the coming weeks to find out who her sources are.
If I wanted a career in the military I would keep a distance from her.
Good post. The MSM’s usual solemn warnings that a “right-wing conspiracy” is “unfounded” or presented “without evidence” are always dropped when the subject of the rumor is something negative about Trump.
But if you screwed up, got fired from your career and wanted revenge you might make a different choice.
I love her what a great job everyday
I’m pretty sure I remember hearing at the time that the visit was scratched due to weather. Didn’t think much of it then. Anyone else remember that?
Jedediah this morning on F&F joined forces with The Atlantic. She is oh-so-uncertain whether the story is true or not. Hey Jed, how about: the party making the charge is responsible for proving it? Not: oh it might be true or it might not be true.
To her, the belief that Hillary-loving Jennifer Griffin (who gushed over Hillary as Fox’s campaign cover four years ago) found “something” in the story to be true misses the point. Rather, if anything in the story is found to be false (like the claim that Trump really didn’t want to go to the cemetery), then the story can be dismissed. Case closed.
I long thought Jedediah was an idiot. I can now see she is a poor “journalist” as well.
It’s going to get worse. The Democrats know that they have a very weak candidate, so all that they can do is try to destroy Trump.
Are these the same anonymous sources that claimed that Sarah Palin called Africa a country?
What’s troubling about all this is that no matter how thoroughly and effectively these ridiculous assertions are proven false they will never completely go away. (The fact that Fox news is helping to spread them doesn’t help either.)
I still hear liberals talking about how Russia stole the 2016 election for Trump. Who cares about facts when we have such strong feelings, right?
Yup. I seem to recall the event.
of all people, that FPOS should know about innocent until proven guilty... what a tool
Yep. She just had a report with Cavota this morning and says she has several sources who are unimpeachable that this is a pattern of a Trump to disparage vets and soldiers. She also said there were some who have been in his presence when he didn’t go to the cemetery. She didn’t mention how he would have been too far from AF1 without a helicopter if he had driven there. Three hour ride. Country roads. I used to think she was a good reporter but she just ignored the statement she didn’t contact the White House for response because she believes her sources and that John Roberts was checking at the other end. Then she said Deep throat was an anonymous source. I’m sure Neal was peeing in his pants with excitement.
We’ve likely got the usual October Surprise coming up.
“We’ve likely got the usual October Surprise coming up.”
I think this is the October surprise. Even the leftist polls show Bye-done losing ground. If they wait until October they’d have no hope.
They had to deploy early.
“We’ve likely got the usual October Surprise coming up.”
What could the October Surprise possibly be? Recent photos of Trump in bed with a live girl or a dead boy? Torturing animals? The left is evil. God save America.
The issue was initially weather and Secret Service and French security advised the President that safety/security would be an issue. I do remember President Macron was acting like a dick with idiotic statements and the American media spun the story THEN that President Trump “didn’t care” about our deceased soldiers. The left now just made up some BS lies to go with it.
In shep's pants.
jennifer griffen is an aunt, a bunt, a _unt.
She confirmed nothing, but since her version from her UN-NAMED TRUMP HATERS, didn't directly contradict the atlantic, the bitch twisted her facts and now it is confirmed.
And now fox is going full cnn using the saint griffen to bash Trump {but they claim they are fair and balanced.
The bitch that was on the morning with Pete and some other guy was practically having an orgasm over the great jennifer griffen.
I rarely watch FOX in the morning and the few minutes I watched today, only confirmed my decision.
