Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions
This complaint:
“[Under Trump] we’ve lost decency, we’ve lost civility, we’ve lost respect for the rule of law.” — Jeff Daniels, Monday
We say: Was Daniels in a coma when Democrats egged on the George Floyd rioters who burned their way through US cities in 2020?
Or when Biden called Trump supporters “garbage”?
Or the left launched a politically driven, no-holds-barred, anti-Trump lawfare campaign?
Or Joe Biden preemptively pardoned his influence-peddling, tax-evading, drug-addict son?
Memo to the “Dumb and Dumber” star: It was Democrats who tossed decency, civility and the rule of law out the window.
This question:
“What attacks on ICE agents?” — Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), Friday
We say: Assaults against ICE agents spiked 830% since Trump took office, Homeland Security reports — thanks in no small part to Democrats’ unhinged rhetoric toward federal agents.
Just weeks ago, a mob in military gear attacked an ICE detention center, shooting at unarmed agents and a local cop.
Yet asked about the violence, Nadler played dumb.
If the congressman is truly unaware of the spate of assaults, he’s unfit for office.
This charge:
“The Trump administration is doing the work of our adversary, Russia.” — CNN’s Beth Sanner, Wednesday
We say: Democrats were obsessed with the Russiagate hoax for nearly a decade, pushing bad info from the debunked Steele dossier (with the help of their media lapdogs) that the Kremlin helped Trump win in 2016.
Now that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is claiming Team Obama knew Russia didn’t tilt the election, but pushed that line anyway, Sanner insists she’s helping Vladimir Putin. Please.
This claim:
“There is likely no trade deal with Japan.” — Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Wednesday
We say: Sorry, Senator, but Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru confirmed the deal the same day you fired off your disparaging take.
The agreement, which the White House says will bring $550 billion in investments to the United States, is great news for America — but it’s also a win for the president.
No wonder Trump-hater Murphy doesn’t want to believe it.
