[h=2]Mystery as IDENTICAL letters appear in 21 newspapers across 12 states slamming Trump's Supreme Court pick – and they're all signed by different people[/h]
- At least 21 U.S. newspapers ran identical letters to the editor opposing President Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh this week
- Each letter was published with the name of a different 'signer,' claiming Kavanaugh threatens 'everything that we hold dear as a nation'
- Technique is known as 'astroturfing'; it's unclear who's behind it
- One editor says the woman who appeared to have emailed him the letter now denies ever sending it
- Three prominent liberal advocacy groups that oppose Kavanaugh's nomination have all denied involvement in the campaign.
- The White House is shrugging off the technique, whose history includes similar campaigns from the Republican Party and the liberal MoveOn.org
