Gail Collins Downplays Bill Ayers in Attacking Donald Trump

Gail Collins uses her New York Times column to attack Donald Trump:

Ayers is the former ’60s radical who became a huge Republican talking point in 2008 because he had once given a house party for Obama when he was running for state senate. It’s a pretty big jump from coffee and cookies to writing an entire book, but I guess that’s what neighbors are for.

Bill Ayers is a well known former domestic terrorist from the Weather Underground. Gail Collins was hoping you and NYT readers don't read Stanley's Kurtz's research. Is Gail Collins the Walter Duranty of the 21st Century?
