It's the same stupid division tactics that the Trump team is using. Somebody somewhere someday has GOT to stop sinking to these immature pissing contests and try to get shit done. Good luck with that, I suppose, as long as both parties are full of disconnected grown up children.
Ehhhhhh.....

Consider the source of the report though. This was reported by the New York Times. Not Breitbart or some other shitty little blog that's only existed for a few years in the digital age. This was reported by a 150+ year old newspaper with exceedingly high standards of journalistic integrity. Every outlet errs once in a great while, but given their history and track record, I'm inclined to trust that they corroborate pretty heavily before reporting on something like this. To reduce it as "sensationalism" and a "pissing contest" is way off the mark.
