One Dem talking point is especially maddening. They say Russia tried to help Trump and Trump "welcomed that help."

But there was no actual Russian "help" offered at the Trump Tower meeting. It was bogus.

And Trump "welcomed" WikiLeaks emails... but so did the rest of the US media

More FAKE NEWS from WaPo........................

 

 

 

 

 

 

But Wemple provides the transcript of the relevant Q&A, which shows that he is misrepresenting it.

As you can see, Lesko is complaining about the large number of citations from all three news sources, not the relatively small number of citations from Fox.

Boot's parroting of Wemple's false characterization reinforces Lesko's concern about "taking news stories at face value."

Trump knocks Fox News after poll shows him losing to Biden by 10 points

 
 

 

 

President Donald Trump renewed his attacks on Fox News on Friday, complaining that the network’s pollsters aren’t favorable enough to him after claiming the news organization had been “Proud Warriors” for him in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election. 

“@FoxNews is at it again. So different from what they used to be during the 2016 Primaries, & before - Proud Warriors! Now new Fox Polls, which have always been terrible to me (they had me losing BIG to Crooked Hillary), have me down to Sleepy Joe,” he tweeted, using the nickname he has assigned to former Vice President Joe Biden.

Yes, Hillary was ahead in the polls, also.

All this, but it is a group chat that takes them down? There are calls for the governor to resign over the "chat scandal" too. 


Top Puerto Rico officials resign in group chat scandal that ensnares governor
 

Two of Puerto Rico’s top government officials resigned on Saturday following the publication of a bombshell group chat in which Governor Ricardo Rossello and his closest allies exchanged controversial messages that have led to widespread calls for Rossello to also step down.
 

The political turmoil comes at a critical stage in the U.S. commonwealth’s historic bankruptcy and as its officials seek billions of dollars in funding from the federal government for healthcare and for recovery efforts following devastating hurricanes in 2017.
 

It also follows a 32-count federal indictment and arrests on Wednesday of six people, including two former high-ranking Puerto Rico government officials, who were charged with conspiracy and other crimes in connection with millions of dollars in federal Medicaid and education funds.
 

</snip>
 

Two of the 12-member group chat - Secretary of State Luis Rivera Marin and Christian Sobrino, the island’s chief financial officer and Rossello’s representative on Puerto Rico’s federally created fiscal oversight board - left the government following Saturday’s release by Puerto Rico journalist group Centro de Periodismo Investigativo of 889 pages of text messages.
 

They show how Rossello and his closest advisors, including former and current public officials, public relations operatives and the governor’s former campaign manager, exchanged memes, derogatory, misogynistic and homophobic comments, as well as jokes about journalists, politicians and activists in a Telegram group chat. The messages further include public policy discussions, sharing of confidential government information and political campaign work, despite the presence of individuals who were not public officials at the time.

It’s the Trump Card vs. the Race Card, Who Will Win? 

 

“Cummings is black and you aren’t allowed to say anything to certain people who are protected.

 

The protected crowd are designated minorities who are Democrats.

 

Women, Hispanic Americans, African Americans, LGBTQ etc. who are NOT leftists are allowed and encouraged to be attacked.”

.....NOT TO WORRY!!....Reverend Sharpton is on his way to Baltimore to straighten everything out....

 

 

By Ronn Blitzer | Fox News

 

President Trump on Monday blasted Rev. Al Sharpton as a "con man," claiming he "hates whites & cops," after the MSNBC host said he would travel to Baltimore amid the controversy over the president's comments about the city and its Democratic lawmakers.

Sharpton tweeted Sunday evening that he would travel to Baltimore to "address Trump's remarks & bi-partisan outrage in the black community" over them. Trump responded by slamming Sharpton, saying they have known each other for decades and used to attend fights together. But the president did not pull any punches when weighing in on Sharpton's character.

Too bad the Dems can't use the perfectly set up punchline - "It takes one to know one."
