NOW we're done. Thanks “In my nearly five decades of public service, I have never publicly endorsed, nor do I now endorse, any political candidates,” Fauci said in a statement reported by NBC News. “The comments attributed to me without my permission in the GOP campaign ad were taken out of context from a broad statement I made months ago about the efforts of federal public health officials.” ~ Dr. Fauci I admire your dedication to be able to ignore that paragraph. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted that reporter who confirmed the 'losers' story sacked. As for Fox - the news section isn't as bad as the Fox & Friends part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was asked whether he has witnessed "this big of a coordinated response by an administration" However -you may try to twist it in any way you want- it was not an answer to, or a comment on: "President Trump tackled the virus head-on, as leaders should," So yes, it has been definitely used out of context!

Popular Post johnnybangkok Posted October 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2020 The problem is this is just one of the many, many false and misleading (if not downright lies) the Trump re-election campaign is fond of spouting. From digitally altering Biden to make him look much older to replacing the original song Biden was listening to to “F&ck Tha Police” https://www.snopes.com/news/2020/09/16/trump-fake-video-biden, the Trump campaign never lets the real truth get in the way of their 'truth'. Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are continually calling Trump out on his lies but it's all just fake news and 'lamestream media' to his devoted supporters who just simply don't want to hear the truth. Confirmation bias is very real and as long as his base swallow it all without a question, his campaign will continue unabated and without any remorse. It's going to be an interesting 3 weeks. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post pomchop Posted October 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2020 Trump tv ads also take biden out of context and delete the parts that don't fit the trump lies... ad has biden saying if u elect me i will raise your taxes....he was talking to a guy who had just told him he was making a LOT of $$.....and correctly Biden pointed out that he would indeed raise taxes on people making more than 400 K a year...how many regular trumpers do u suppose make over 400 K a year? how many of them cheer when trump gives cuts to the super wealthy and corporations? https://www.factcheck.org/2020/08/republican-group-selectively-edits-biden-tax-remark/ 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
