It is hard, and sad, to imagine that nearly a third of Americans are so gullible as to buy what Donald Trump is selling. But maybe some good will come out of it in the end. I would hope that one day real Republicans will realize that they made a mistake getting in bed with the Confederacy and make common cause with moderate Democrats and take back America from its most extreme elements on both the left and right.

So the "alt-right" made CNN post a several years old picture of an unrelated event in a news story to promote the leftist meme that radical right wing movements are advancing throughout the world?

The "alt-right" made CNN stage a pro-Islam protest in London after a terror attack?

The "alt-right" made a CNN contributor give the Democratic party nominee a list of question prior to the debate?

The "alt-right" made the media edit a video of Trump feeding fish to attempt to portray him as a buffoon?

The "alt-right" made the media run with a story that Trump's Secretary of the Treasury foreclosed on a 90 year old for 27 cents?

The "alt-right" made CNN claim that Nancy Sinatra was upset with Trump dancing to one of her father's songs at his inauguration when she never said such a thing?

The "alt-right" made the media run a sensational but completely false report that Trump had removed the MLK bust from the White House on inauguration day?

The "alt-right" made CNN run with the lie that the GOP healthcare plan would classify rape and/or sexual assault as a pre-existing condition and deny coverage?

The "alt-right" made CNN run the story that James Comey was going to contradict Trump's account that he wasn't under FBI investigation in his Senate testimony?

I don't recall making such claims. And nothing you have said refutes what I did say. But it does play well on right wing forums like this one.
