I read the original article in the NYTimes. Paul Lance is flat out inaccurate.
While we can agree that Watson's voting was uninformed on tariffs or otherwise foolish, I don't recall that the article in any way implied Watson "only voted for Trump for racism." This might actually cross the line into defamation and Paul might think about retaining an attorney.
