Overwhelming positive to neutral angle to this. I have cause to dispute the integrity claim at the end. While I didn't follow Anderson's race much - the fake family photo intentionally misrepresented his life and the agenda he supports to attempt to get votes from white women (and men like himself). That was manipulative.
Next, (because I think my son registered as an I or R) Anderson sent very anti-immigrant, fear mongering, mailers. Intentionally using Eugene Vindman's given name in a way to stoke fear of the outsider in voters already primed for prejudice. It was interesting to me to see a white man (but nationalist) attack another white man like this.
That said, I appreciate and I'm sure his camp will appreciate the positive angle. Because I AM tired of the nastiness that comes from the MAGA R's in Spotsy. Maybe this will tone them down. Maybe he can help them dial it down as a leader in their party. That would truly be honorable of him.
Always interesting to see Republicans complain about someone noting what they did rather than accepting fault for them doing what they did.
It's not like Russian operatives planted a photo of Anderson with a fake family is it? He made a choice to do this thing. Why is it wrong for his opponent or anyone else to point this out?
Agreed with the other Mr Watkins on here. Slanted, biased, disappointing.
I hope it isn't a trend because I am seeing less and less value in supporting such efforts despite my hopes for small media journalism to succeed.

Thx Martin. Good story.
This is as slanted, even biased, and certainly unfair "reporting" as I've read in the Advance. What a disappointment. Your readers deserve better.
