Notice I didn't say anything was a lie. I just noted the timing, like you did. It was good timing for an organization that wants to take down Trump.
But, to your point, it is actually quite easy to ignore baseless claims...you evaluate them, then discard them. No ongoing action required. The bigger mental problem is for the people who believe them because they want to believe them, and then are forced to defend baseless claims repeatedly. That requires positive action.
