Understood, but I wish it wasn't present on HN which is generally above such mud slinging. The story has absolutely nothing to do with the election, and there is no reason to believe that the woman who reported Menzio was a Trump supporter, and yet the Washington Times, taking its cue from Menzio's Facebook comments, chose to spin it as an indictment of Trump. In short, it is effectively a partisan political article, and shouldn't be posted to HN for that reason.
