Follow this to its thread. (And this is just one part of Eichenwald’s disqualifying track record; his campaign stories may have been pleasing to some of you, but they were entirely unhinged.)
Can we talk about Kurt Eichenwald, who seems to have emerged as many Democrats’ favorite reporter in 2016?

Trump, the self-proclaimed law-and-order candidate, told this lie night after night after night during the campaign – and he’s not stopping any time soon.
