Pro XRP lawyer John Deaton has criticized MSM journalist Stephanie Rule for mixing up Bitcoin with the Hawk Tuah Girl’s scam rug pull coin.
In a post on the X platform, Deaton expressed disappointment at Rule alleging that she is intentionally mixing up the two to push an agenda for Democrats.
“I’m disappointed because, although we likely disagree on certain policies, I’ve always believed her to be a bit above some of the others in the MSM,” said Deaton.
“She’s too smart not to understand the difference which means she’s intentionally conflating the two to push the @ewarren (and) @GaryGensler anti-crypto agenda,” he added.

I’m shocked because Stephanie Rule is a very smart journalist who’s very experienced with financial markets.
