Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions
This claim:
“Republicans in Congress wanted to play politics with the border. We fought to fix it.” — President Biden, Tuesday
We say: The White House claimed the border was secure right up until it became clear that lie was going to cost Dems the election.
Then Democrats started pretending a bill Republicans nixed because it would have worsened border security was somehow a magic fix.
Biden can’t gaslight his way out of this one: He owns the border disaster.
This debunk:
“Despite what you have heard from [Rick] Caruso, no firefighters have told us that they are running out of water.” — FOX11 Los Angeles’ Melvin Robert, Wednesday
We say: Seconds after Robert let this lie fly, his station’s own reporter on the ground confirmed LA firefighters were indeed running out of water as they battled the blazes ravaging the city.
Mayoral candidate Rick Caruso partially ran on preventing such shortages, caused (natch) by Democratic mismanagement.
Bravo to the field reporter who stuck to her guns; shame on Robert for doing lefty PR.
This fact-check:
“Meta Says Fact-Checkers Were the Problem. Fact-Checkers Rule That False.”
— The New York Times, Tuesday
We say: Ha! The fact-checkers fact-checked their own fact-checking and found they’re not a bunch of creepy, lefty censors.
More proof Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg got it exactly right when he said these politically biased weirdos “have destroyed more trust than they’ve created.”
This statement:
“The question on the table is: Is the president all the way there? And the answer is: unequivocally yes!” — MSNBC’s Symone Sanders-Townsend, Sunday
We say: Have a little self-respect! Progressive journos from Matt Yglesias to Chris Cillizza all admitted they were wrong to miss Biden’s obvious decline.
Watching bitter-ender Dems and lefty pundits continue to pretend Joe hasn’t gone utterly gaga is beyond cringe-inducing.
