X (formerly Twitter) Community Notes targets Republican political candidate: AZ State representative candidate Steven Slaton posted June 24, “I am a Vietnam combat veteran - no left wing smear campaign will ever deny that fact. These people doing this are doing to me what the liberals did to my fellow Vietnam veterans decades ago when they returned - spitting on them and mocking them. These are the same people who opposed patriots like Kari Lake, President Trump, Eli Crane and Wendy Rogers. They are a bunch of establishment Chamber of Commerce RINO hacks who support Democrats more than Republicans. It is about 10 losers with no real power to do anything. They get everything wrong and are about as irrelevant as the paper their phony letter is printed on.” X Community Notes accused Slaton of false information: “An investigation into Steve Slaton's military service records reveals that he never served in Vietnam and is not a combat vet. Additionally, Mr. Slaton was not a pilot, but an aircraft mechanic.
