[DAILYCALLER] A veterans activist with the Vietnam Veterans of America, Kristofer Goldsmith, described in a previously unreported 2008 video committing acts that an expert said could be a war crime that could carry a punishment of death or life in prison.Goldsmith said in the video that, as a soldier, he sabotaged Iraqi allies’ rifles while they slept so that they were rendered defenseless. He said he spread the idea to platoon members who joined in, disabling the rifles of an entire Iraqi company fighting on the same side as the U.S. Goldsmith is now the associate director for policy and government affairs at VVA, a congressionally chartered group that was involved in a town hall with Rep. Alexandria SandyOcasio-Cortez Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress.

She was the inventor of the Green New Deal, though she doesn't talk about it much anymore... on April 17. The New York Democrat said of the Department of Veterans Affairs, "If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it" — a position on the VA at odds with the majority of veterans groups. Goldsmith is married to the editor of The New York Times  ... which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... ’ At War blog, Lauren Katzenberg. He has testified before Congress and has done research into internet hoaxes that has spurred a congressional investigation. Numerous major news outlets, including CNN ...the organization formerly known as the Cable News Network. Now who knows what it might stand for... , The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal have featured Goldsmith. He’s also been fiercely critical of the last two Republican administrations.

"No, it is not true ... I wish that stupid shit would go away."
