Information appearing in the Sunday, Aug. 18 “Write Of Center” column contained improper attribution.
Several points appearing in the column were lifted from a political website. Retired Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Higginbotham, cited in the article, told the Star he is not the author of the material.
According to the fact-checking website Snopes.com, Trevor Loudon — a New Zealand author, blogger and political activist — is the source of the cited data.
Loudon’s piece originally appeared Oct. 14, 2020. It was reposted about two weeks later to the website of the political action committee Combat Veterans for Congress, Snopes states. It has remained in circulation since.
