They failed to realize that the preposterous and the offensive were the twin beacons of the Trump presidency. Journalists were merely going where he led. This was our Omaha Beach. I, for one, would have rather been in Hawaii.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Atlantic\u2019s story alleging that Trump scoffed at World War I soldiers buried in France was based on anonymous sources and has since been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/john-bolton-already-debunked-key-claim-in-atlantic-report-on-trumps-alleged-comments-on-dead-soldiers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">disputed<\/a> by former national security adviser John Bolton, who is no fan of the former president.<\/p>\n<p>Nazaryan\u2019s lengthy article was met with scorn on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStorming Omaha Beach was not \u2018thrilling,&#8217;\u201d wrote Townhall journalist Katie Pavlich. \u201cIt was terrifying and a death sentence for thousands.
