Meet the woman who emailed White House's anti-Vindman talking points to "allies of the president"



“The Trump White House has taken the extraordinary step of distributing talking points to allies of the president trashing one of its employees,” The Daily Beast reported after obtaining a copy of the document.

“On Tuesday morning, White House aide Julia Hahn emailed Trump surrogates under the subject line, “Vindman’s Complaints Are Nothing More Than Policy Disagreements,” according to messages reviewed by The Daily Beast. Hahn, a Steve Bannon protege and one of his former allies in the White House, works on outreach and communications involving pro-Trump talking heads and other players in conservative media,” The Beast reported.

The talking points argued, “there was nothing wrong with the call with Zelensky at all” while attacking Vindman for being one of multiple people to report wrong-doing during the call.

The attacks on Vindman represent an escalation of a White House pattern.

I get the fact that three years of the tax-cheating, racist, misogynistic, adulterous baboon may have "desensitized" the country.

But for me, the Military is sacred ground. You just...don't...GO there.

And yes, there's a track record of this, including...but not limited to...insulting the Khan Family, insulting John McCain before AND AFTER he died, Don Jr. saying a visit to Arlington made him really understand the persecution of the Trump family...

...but it didn't prepare me for what I witnessed today. As I said, it will take me a while to come out of stunned disbelief mode, although I don't think I can. I know there "is no bottom" with Trump, but I hope that...at minimum...the voters purge this vermin from the Oval Office a year from now.

Soldiers are grist for the mill in wars for profit. Veterans of said wars are completely disregarded.

FUCKING Purple Heart bandaids during the 2004 Presidential campaign when John Kerry was running. Somebody actually conceived of that shit, had them made up, and then these pasty white shitheads wore them at the RNC convention.

“Support the Troops” my ass. Republicans truly no know shame.

I was sure attacking McCain for being a POW would be the end of Trump.

I underestimated how vile his supporters are

I mean, I don’t care how members of this species start their mating rituals, but I thought it was slightly unprofessional as a photograph taking place in a working environment.

He does not want to be devoured.
He may not know about the tentacles or the venom, though. The male of that species is not particularly bright.

Did you see how I got beat up at the top of the comments for stating the obvious.

I wonder if the person who got on me has seen all the highly sexual photos of Trump's wife that he had taken, or especially the Nude ones of her that he got out to the press....???? Or worst, of all the ways he paraded off-color pictures of him holding his daughter since she was a teen ager.....Now THAT Is Nauseating........
