As someone whose parents defected from the Soviet bloc, I find this kind of slander especially indefensible because it belittles the horrors of tyranny for cheap political points, and because it’s impossible to defend against. It would be tantamount to Rubio saying, “Steve Schmidt is the type of guy who would have been leading the mob in Kristallnacht because it might mean a few extra Reichsmarks in his pocket.”

First of all, 1. Lmao stealing gusano valor with the parental reference and 2. yeah that would probably be an accurate description of the guy who delivered unto the national stage Sarah Palin.
