I don't discount the possibility - likelihood, frankly - that the right wing is behind this stuff, but the stakes in this race are incredibly high and primary campaigns have opposition researchers for a reason.

That being said, there's zero doubt that the Rs would dig up this stuff to create havoc. 50+ years of that is proof.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
