Diary of disturbing disinformation and harmful delusions
This assertion:
“5 [Capitol Police] officers who responded selflessly to the assault on Jan. 6 have since misplaced their lives.”
— Lawyer Normal Merrick Garland, Jan. 5
We are saying: Huh? A type of officers died of pure causes the subsequent day, the health worker discovered. The opposite 4 dedicated suicide, two of them six months later. Sure, the riot was a disgusting stain on US historical past, however the truth stays that not a single individual — police officer or in any other case — was killed in an assault by rioters, it doesn't matter what Garland would have you ever to assume, together with his cynically however fastidiously chosen phrases.
This excerpt:
“Kyle Rittenhouse . . . used his semi-automatic weapon to kill two Black males in Kenosha, Wisconsin, whereas waging an excellent race conflict on behalf of his inherited White energy.”
— From Nationwide Geographic “Egyptologist” Kara Cooney’s “The Good Kings” (and mocked in a Jan. 4 tweet)
We are saying: Effectively, what do you count on from an Egyptologist who goes political? Reality is, each males Rittenhouse killed had been white, not black, and a jury discovered he acted in self-defense, not “whereas waging an excellent race conflict.” Cooney admits she erred, claiming her mistake was “caught too late.” But it surely clearly bought previous her, her editors and her writer due to their biased, fact-free views. Certainly, regardless of the error, Cooney nonetheless “stands by” her “sentiment of white supremacy.”
This tweet:
We are saying: Uh, so long as lecturers union boss Randi Weingarten approves, Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki forgot so as to add.
This warning:
“I’m fearful that if Republicans win within the midterm elections, that voting as we all know it on this nation can be gone. . . . It may very well be the final election.”
– Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), Jan. 4
We are saying: It is a US congressman talking? Please: Does anybody actually assume America will finish elections if Republicans prevail in November’s midterm elections? Speak about ugly, determined fear-mongering.
This tweet:
We are saying: Yikes! The Civil Warfare started in 1861, not 1865. And also you’d assume “journalist” Nikole Hannah-Jones (tweeting as “Ida Bae Wells”) — whose “1619 Undertaking” for The New York Instances is now a part of the historical past curriculum in faculties throughout the nation — would have the ability to get her details proper on the conflict that ended slavery. True, she later claimed her remark was “poorly worded.” However the “1619 Undertaking” can be riddled with errors, many much more critical than this one.
