"While still friendly with Caetani, Wallis forged even closer bonds with Felipe Espil, First Secretary at the Argentinian Embassy in Washington, an ardent Fascist and a representative of the savage Irigoyen dictatorship in Buenos Aires."

Hipólito Yrigoyen was a democratically elected president deposed by a military coup in 1930... That passes as fact checking these days?

His administration was responsible for extremely bloody repression that killed hundreds in Buenos Aires and thousands across Argentina. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragic_Week_(Argentina)
