Another looney conspiracy theory emerges

A US Senator, ladies and gentleman:
Vindictive Vindman is the “whistleblower’s” handler.— Sen. Marsha Blackburn (@MarshaBlackburn) November 22, 2019
I’m so old I remember when Republicans were concerned about the children learning bad behavior from their leaders. Now we have an entire political party flagrantly smearing their opponents, name-calling and hurling juvenile insults. I wonder if this puerile behavior will persist after Trump is gone. It’s tempting to believe that they are just trying to kiss up to the king but I have a sneaking suspicion they are more like him in most ways than we may have thought.
By the way, there is zero evidence that the whistleblower has a “handler” or that Vindman is one. This is just plain smearing of a witness by the Senator from Tennessee, who was always a horrible person and continues to be one. One thing you can be sure of, she didn’t come up with this on her own. It’s a new line of attack.
