and it trivializes what foreign asset actually means. The guy is of Turkish descent. Advertising for Turkish tourism doesn't make him a Turkish asset. An asset works for a foreign intelligence service. Oz has a stupid TV show.

One can oppose someone politically without inventing stuff like this, and it is invention. This is asking to a hearing something in the schoolyard and then saying it is true.
