   It's been there is the mid 1800's. In 2016 it was named "Magazine of the Year"   
   by the American Society of Magazine Editors. It is known for it's literary   
   pieces. It is not a political rag.

   It's not a rumour and it's not new. Trump talked this way of John McCain and   
   other veterans in the past.   
      
   > I noticed they said "4 people said..."   
      
   Yes, at this point the story has been backed up.   
      
   > They're trying to make it sound like "not only 1, but 4 people said..." but   
   >they don't say who those 4 people are. Trump aides perhaps? Let's see if Trump

   Yes, they did say who they were.

   Joe Biden did/said what he had to say. There was no other choice.
