Original post by @travisakers

Akers's own September 5 post criticizes Loomer's treatment of Nixon and urges support for Nixon's Senate candidacy. His reproduction of Nixon's response is secondary and is not being imported as a new direct Nixon statement. This is an older missing reaction, not a statement first made on September 10.
