Original Note:
The Swift Boat Vets created by Trump’s current campaign strategist Chris LaCivita, were fined $300k for dishonestly representing themselves https://www.npr.org/2006/12/14/6623828/fec-fines-527-groups-including-swift-boat-vets The political group was later discredited; the neologism "swiftboating" arose from this & describes an unfair or untrue political attack https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Kerry_military_service_controversy?wprov=sfti1#
