"to defended" Way to proofread, YahooNews. The least they could have done
was throw a (sic) in there.
Leaving aside your utterly outrageous and scandalous suggestion that the local
authorities might not have been entirely trustworthy, I have to chalk this up as
an anecdotal tale until other corroboration is presented.
Dr. Rice has demonstrated herself to be a monumental liar of convenience and
expediency, telling whatever tale she thinks necessary to ingratiate herself to
the target audience, be it the US Congress, a bunch of gun-rights advocates, or
a Russian President, all the while maintaining wiggle-room and the plausible
deniability so beloved by this administration.
If the story is true as told, then I'm glad that Dr. Rice's father was able to
defended his family. However, since she her word is as untrustworthy as the
1963 Alabama constabulary, I must reject her story as apocryphal.
