Atlantic Editor Clashes With Slain Vet’s Family Over Trump’s ‘F**king Mexican’ Remark

Jeffrey Goldberg has pushed back against the string of denials that poured in after he reported in The Atlantic that Donald Trump allegedly raged at a slain U.S. soldier’s funeral bill by saying, “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f---ing Mexican.”

That alleged remark was regarding 20-year-old Vanessa Guillén, the Houston-born soldier who was murdered at Fort Hood in 2020—a horrific killing that led to leadership changes at the base and policy changes across the military. Trump offered to pay for the funeral to Guillén’s family, but reportedly never did.
