If there was a national curriculum, do you think we would have bothered with a mandate to say that the KKK is bad?
I could see some conservatives gleefully mandate including a repudiation of the crimes of the KKK, and their affiliation with southern Democrats, in a national curriculum.
It's not unusual for an American President to meet with the Russian President.
Biden has also been photographed with Putin.
A further complicating factor is that it serves the interests of Putin and Russia to leak stuff about Trump that riles the left, because that helps divide and weaken the US.
It is irrelevant if Trump or his allies leaked the story (and I don't believe that was confirmed.) What matters is whether it's true.
If it's a smear, what have I said that's untrue? Can you quote anything untrue that I'm doubling down on?
I explicitly said that Swalwell cut off ties with the woman the moment the FBI informed him of their counterintelligence probe. I included a link to an article in which he mentioned that he provided information to the FBI about her.
If this is just a woman he was photographed with once (as you suggest multiple times), he wouldn't be able to provide any useful information. But as noted in the Axios piece, witnesses say she "interacted with Swalwell at multiple events over the course of several years."
The reason I mentioned this was that you thought Swalwell was a credible contender for Speaker of the House, and I noted a likely problem he would face. You may be responding to things I didn't say.
