    The Spin

    Left narrative

    The Toebbes were a regular American couple, and their turn to treason and betrayal was a surprise for everyone. It can only be explained by a sense of disillusionment with US politics and years of economic hardship.

    Right narrative

    The Toebbes were both registered Democrats, and Diana Toebbe was a member of the liberal, radical feminist, anti-Trump "Resistance." They should have been charged with domestic terrorism, not just espionage.
