      From Reddit:

      She also edited her blog on 5/7/2026 at 23:16:18 GMT. You can check this for yourself here. Her website is https://www.lyndseyfifield.com/

      Interestingly, the blog’s last post (before editing) was 5/19/2015. So, she (presumably) went in to edit a blog website that hadn’t been touched in over a decade while she was discussing things with the New York Times.

      If one uses the Wayback Machine, you see that 2 posts were deleted between 3/8/2026 and 5/7/2026 (presumably on 5/7/2026). One is a self promotion post from 2017 touting her new podcast. The other is from the same period as her claimed diary entry (2016). In the now deleted blog post Lyndsey strikes a very different tone from the purported diary entry.

      It seems too much of a coincidence that the blog that hadn’t been touched in a decade magically get’s edited as she’s speaking with the NY Times about an ex-boyfriend from the time when the blog was active.

      So, Fifield had personal motivation (spurned ex), political motivation (she’s GOP through and through) and financial motivation (this will surely elevate her GOP career).

      Huh, makes you think.
