allowing this gaslighting to go forward is not simply an assault on Joe Biden but all of us and every single candidate. Because I guarantee you if this is allowed, if the press willingly gets on board with bothsiderism, this will be a continuous strategy against whomever our nominee is in 2020.

Bet on it!

And yet, the Trumpers shift it into high gear and sections of the media follow the same ugly scent. Deja vu all over again.
