A shame that Kansas City media didn't at least acknowledge parallels to former Prez Truman's angry defense of his daughter amid a great deal of angst over Nordstrom's dumping Ivanka.
Money quote from the Meth Town Prez to a lowly music critic after a scathing review of his daughter Margret. . .
"Some day I hope to meet you. When that happens you'll need a new nose, a lot of beefsteak for black eyes, and perhaps a supporter below!"
Review of the current beef with the local connection . . .
Wash Examiner: Flashback: Harry Truman also slammed one of his daughter's critics
Truman Library: Harry Truman to Music Critic Paul Hume
Biz Insider: Harry Truman once wrote a newspaper columnist a scathing letter for being critical of his daughter
PJ Media: Harry S. Truman -- Trump's Role Model?
Again, it's a shame that the story was consigned to Conservative click-bait media because there are a great many local experts who who could have shed light on this story and offered a teaching moment for Kansas City residents throughout the metro about our local connection to current debates over Presidential power and ethics . . . Instead, locals play the losing partisan game rather than offering a glimpse at local real life and real talk.
You decide . . .
