"Democrats and Never Trumpers are spending the closing days of the 2024 presidential election attacking the sister of a slain Hispanic U.S. Army soldier because she said she voted for former President Donald Trump.

"Mayra Guillén — the younger sister of U.S. Army Spc. Vanessa Guillén, who was killed by a fellow soldier in 2020 — has spoken out in recent days after an anonymously sourced hit piece in the Atlantic claimed that former President Donald Trump called her sister a “fucking Mexican.”

"Guillén said in a post on X immediately after the piece published that Trump has shown nothing but respect for her family and revealed that she actually voted for him. She posted:

Wow. I don’t appreciate how you are exploiting my sister’s death for politics- hurtful & disrespectful to the important changes she made for service members. President Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to my family & Vanessa. In fact, I voted for President Trump today. . . .

Vanessa Guillen’s sister and family attorney slam Atlantic editor for claiming Trump dissed murdered Army servicewoman: ‘He outright LIED’   "The  family attorney and the sister of slain Texas soldier Vanessa Guillen both dismissed a report in the Atlantic Tuesday alleging that former President Donald Trump refused to pay for the Army specialist’s funeral and disparaged her ethnicity. 

Vanessa Guillen

The piece, written by the magazine’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, claims Trump fumed about a $60,000 bill he received from Guillen’s family for her funeral during a December 2020 Oval Office meeting – allegedly telling aides that “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f—king Mexican.”

“Don’t pay it!” Trump ordered his then chief of staff Mark Meadows, after previously telling the Guillen family he would assist with Vanessa’s funeral expenses, according to Goldberg. Mayra Guillen, Vanessa’s sister, slammed the Atlantic report as “hurtful & disrespectful,” and
indicated that the former president treated her family with “respect” in the aftermath of sister’s brutal killing. 

“Wow,” Mayra wrote on X, in response to Goldberg’s reporting. “I don’t appreciate how you are exploiting my sister’s death for politics – hurtful & disrespectful to the important changes she made for service members.”

“President Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to my family & Vanessa,” she added. “In fact, I voted for President Trump today.” 

Natalie Khawam, an attorney for the Guillen family, accused the Atlantic editor of lying in the piece." . . . 

Jeffrey Goldberg goes after family of slain soldier for criticizing his latest hit piece UPDATED 10/25  

"Not only did he misrepresent our conversation but he outright LIED in HIS sensational story. More importantly, he used and exploited my clients, and Vanessa Guillen’s murder … for cheap political gain," Guillen family lawyer Natalie Khawam said about Goldberg. "I would like to also point out that the timing of this 'story' is quite suspicious, as this supposed conversation that Trump had would have occurred over 4 years ago! Why a story about it now?!"
