Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? Redux

Guess
There's a huge discussion going on at Joe.My.God. about the dinner for Ted Cruz thrown by Ian Reisner and Mati Weiderpass. What bothers me about many of the comments is evidence of what I call "right-wing logic": I know it's true, therefore it must be true, even though I have no evidence indicating it's true.

This stems largely from the insistence that the dinner was a fundraiser, even though the hosts insist that it was not -- but it must have been, because Cruz is running for president.

That's sort of like saying that Hillary Clinton having lunch at Chipotle must have been a fundraiser because she's running for president.

*sigh*
