Not Sure Who To Believe?

Regarding the last round of hearings: who should you believe?

"On the one hand, you have George Kent, a career Foreign Service officer whose entire family served in the armed forces, including an uncle who was at Pearl Harbor and survived the Bataan Death March, and on the other hand, you have a bone spurs draft dodger whose dad got arrested at a KKK riot."

-snip-

"What sounds more believable? That career diplomats with everything to lose would make up a story implicating the most powerful man in America? Or that the president’s butt-dialing, criminal-loving lawyer was involved in something nefarious? I wish this would be easier!"

Too bad I didn't see this prior to Thanksgiving dinner - would have made for so much more fun!

Enjoy the whole piece:

I just looked it up and he was stationed in the Philippines at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack. Perhaps another uncle was at Pearl Harbor.
