Dems And The Media Are Falling For An Old, Deceptively Edited Video Of Trump
It’s what they do. Same lie 2.0.
Quote:Democrats and members of the establishment media fell for a viral clip purporting that President Donald Trump called asylum seekers “animals” on Friday at an immigration roundtable.
In reality, the clip in question is from an event in May 2018 when the president was clearly referring to members of the MS-13 gang as “animals.” At the time, CSPAN posted a deceptively edited clip that cut out someone else’s remark about MS-13 that the president responded to, making it sound like Trump was talking about immigrants more generally.
The shortened clip was reposted on Friday by Twitter user Mark Elliot, who falsely claimed that the president was referring to “people asking for asylum” and did not indicate that Trump’s remarks were not new.
“We have people coming into the country…You wouldn’t believe how bad these people are. These aren’t people. These are animals,” Trump said in the video.

Big deal. My conservative friends on Facebook do this about once a week.
I got two just last week.
One was lying about a trump appearance on Colbert being scrubbed from their website (when no episodes from that period appear on it) and also from Youtube, yet the clip of the episode is still on Youtube and has millions of views.
The other one was still talking about Hillary and lied about a bunch of their positions.
Doesn't make either right, but let's please drop the charade that one side is innocent here.

Do you mind sending those links you reference where right leaning groups are misrepresenting progressives? I'm assuming these are links from conservative media and/or political figures from the right and not just your conservative friends making their own claims?

They're mostly factually challenged meme's made up by some "anonymous" Facebook group that gets shared all over the place, any my con friends just go along and believe them without doing a lick of research. Again, the left does the same thing on FB.
It's just tiring when cons on this site act like their side is a bunch of truth promoting Puritans.

Dude,just delete those people from FB. Heck, I do that with family members that like to spout politics on FB even if I agree with them.

Actually, you don't have to delete them. If they get too bothersome, I just turn them off so I don't see their posts. Just in case I still need to contact them for something.

The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed.
As I said, that only shows my friend activity, etc. But yeah...clearly, that's what I do here, just make stuff up and lie in my posts.
Of course you could click on that post, change the comments view to recent, and see that people are still commenting on it...as recent as 23 minutes ago as of the time of this post.
RE: Dems And The Media Are Falling For An Old, Deceptively Edited Video Of Trump
My poor internet challenged parents post stuff like Tom mentions too, I think every one knows somebody that does. Some I agree with, some I just shake my head at. Others I have to call them and tell them to take down because they are so outrageously false.
One of them posted this gem below last week. I agree with the point, but the numbers are so completely wrong I was embarrassed for them

Yes, that's precisely what you do. Just like AOC, you conjure up alt-left fan fiction, stories that *if* they happened, would support your narrative. Only problem is that they OBVIOUSLY didn't happen. Another example is the fake hate crime epidemic.
Hence my original "shite that never happened" comment. You've now commented 4 times since then, and have been unable to prove otherwise, and actually debunked it, by posting a facebook post from a year ago.

That's still circulating and being commented on today.
