  • Conservatives swallow 'fake news' hook, line and sinker

    Never even heard about this.
    Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
    But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
    Than a fool in the eyes of God

      (CNN)After President Donald Trump repeatedly referred to her as a "wacky Congresswoman," Rep. Frederica Wilson fired back on Sunday morning, saying that the ambush in Niger that left four US soldiers dead "is (Trump's) Benghazi" and demanding an apology to "the nation" from White House chief of staff John Kelly.

      "Niger is @realDonaldTrump's Benghazi. He needs to own it," the Florida Democrat tweeted.
      Wilson and Trump have traded barbs for nearly a week on the controversy stemming from the President's condolence call to Myeshia Johnson, the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, one of the soldiers killed in the ambush in Niger earlier this month.

      Wilson, who is close to Johnson's family and was in the car when Trump's call came, claimed that Trump said Johnson "knew what he signed up for, but I guess it still hurts." The family member who raised Johnson called Wilson's account of the call "very accurate," and the White House has not refuted that Trump spoke those words.
      Trump said in an interview with Fox Business that he was "very surprised" to hear Wilson's account of the call, insisting the call was "a very nice call." He also said he mentioned Johnson's name during the phone conversation, which Wilson said he did not appear to remember during the call.

        the whole affair is another reminder that there is no limit to the depravity of the left (including shuny's).
        "As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

        There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

          Who exactly fell for it hook line and sinker?

              I never even heard of it before Shuny's rumormongering.
              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                I saw someone post it on facebook, but they said, "I don't know if this is real but..."

                I find it hilarious that Shunya is defending Wilson though. That shows just how much he has drank the liberal koolaid. The woman is a Rhinestone Cowgirl. A joke. An "empty barrel"

                I have no problem believing the wife and mother of the soldier might not like Trump and took the call badly. After all their son/husband was killed! They are understandably upset. And since they are apparently friends with Wilson who happened to be with them when they got the call, you can take a guess what their political leanings and their opinion of Trump was even before this happened.

                But Wilson took the opportunity to use this woman's grief to attack Trump. Then started calling the entire staff White Supremacists and herself a "rock star" - she is reveling in her notoriety at the expense of this family's grief. She is a clown. She is trash.

                  Maybe some do, but I've seen liberals willingly swallow the rod and reel as well as hook, line, and sinker. "Hands up don't shoot!", Trump and Russian collusion, just about anything Hillary Clinton says etc.

                    Wait, what was her position on Benghazi when it actually happened?

                      Yeah, no kidding. I thought Benghazi was a nothing-burger, a big, fat Republican conspiracy against Hillary...

                      What an odd analogy for Wilson to use.

                        Every once in a while, in the heat of battle, liberals trip up and admit the truth.

                        I'm trying to find where she supported the "youtube video" lie, but can't seem to find it for all the search results dealing with her comment about Trump.

                          Gotta love her knee-jerk reaction of insinuating that General Kelly is a racist and her ridiculous declaration that "empty barrel" is a racist slur (which she claimed is what it says in the dictionary). Even many in the MSM found that whopper hard to swallow and challenged her on it, asking her to elaborate (which she of course ignored because she knew she simply made it up). But like some of the liberals here when they get nailed spouting nonsense she decided to double down and demanded that Kelly apologize to her but doesn't apologize for calling him a racist.

                            Did Trump or anyone else lie through his teeth about what happened in Niger and then try to frame some innocent filmmaker for causing it?

                              Thank you so very much, tolerant liberals.
