Jeffrey Goldberg, the Editor-in-Chief of The Atlantic magazine, is pushing an unfounded smear campaign against President Donald J. Trump just weeks before the November presidential election. In a story regarding Trump’s relationship with the military, Goldberg—reliant on his signature use of hearsay quotes from anonymous sources—attempts to claim Trump denigrated murdered U.S. soldier Vanessa Guillén. However, Goldberg’s smear is receiving pushback from the Guillén family, namely Venessa’s sister Mayra Guillén.
“Wow. I don’t appreciate how you are exploiting my sister’s death for politics—hurtful [and] disrespectful to the important changes she made for service members,” Mayra Guillén wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter), responding to The Atlantic and Goldberg. She added: “President Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to my family [and] Vanessa. In fact, I voted for President Trump today.”
