Getting fact checked by people who support him.

Also, we’ve already seen numerous times business lying about the # of workers they have in order to get more funding.

Sadly since it oozed from his word hole his followers will gobble it down like baby birds. Despite the fact checking proving otherwise.

MSNBC uses Seattle's mayor to ‘fact-check’ Kristi Noem’s claim that Democratic cities are hellholes
by Becket Adams


August 27, 2020



South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem claimed Wednesday at the 2020 Republican National Convention that Democratic-controlled cities are “being overrun by violent mobs.”

To “fact-check” the governor on this assertion, MSNBC interrupted its convention coverage to bring on, of all people, Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan. Yes, that Mayor Durkan. As in the mayor who allowed Seattle’s lawless Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, which was rebranded later as Capitol Hill Organized Protest, to flourish in the heart of her city. As in the mayor who waited until at least six separate shooting incidents and two murders left her with no choice but to tear down the protesters’ Mad Max hellscape and finally restore some semblance of order.

“It took 244 years to build this great nation, flaws and all, but we stand to lose it in a tiny fraction of that time if we continue down the path taken by the Democrats and their radical supporters,” Noem said Wednesday evening.

She added, “From Seattle and Portland to Washington and New York, Democrat-run cities across this country are being overrun by violent mobs. The violence is rampant. There’s looting, chaos, destruction, and murder. People that can afford to flee have fled. But the people that can’t — good, hardworking Americans — are left to fend for themselves.”

It was at that moment Wednesday evening that MSNBC’s perpetually indignant Rachel Maddow interrupted her network’s coverage of the convention to “fact-check” the governor.

“We're just going to interject here just for a moment,” said the cable host. “As we have said over the course of this coverage, we will interject when we feel like there is something that's important and deliberate and very wrong that should be corrected just so that we feel responsible about our broadcast.”

Maddow added, “Joining us for more on [Noem’s remarks] and to essentially run a reality check on that assertion is the mayor of the great city of Seattle, Jenny Durkan.”

Said the mayor, “[Noem’s] caricature of the great cities across America is not only wrong, it is purposefully wrong. I think she needs to get off Twitter and get off Fox News and come see our city.”

Now is as good a time as any to remind you that when neo-secessionists seized control of a six-block radius of Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, declaring themselves the self-appointed masters of that territory, Seattle’s impotent mayor went on CNN to defend the so-called “autonomous zone” as something “more like a block party” than an “armed takeover.”

“We’ve got four blocks in Seattle that you just saw pictures of that is more like a block party atmosphere,” she told CNN host Chris Cuomo.

On the first night of the CHOP’s weekslong occupation of Seattle’s Capitol Hill, local rapper Raz Simone was reported roaming the zone with an AK-47 and a pistol, screaming through a megaphone, “This is war!” Simone then used his newfound authority as a self-appointed warlord of an unlawful movement to order armed insurrectionists to take shifts guarding the zone’s makeshift barricades. Simone was also filmed allegedly “assaulting multiple protesters who disobeyed his orders, informing them that he was the ‘police’ now, sparking fears that he was becoming the de facto warlord of the autonomous zone,” according to City Journal contributing editor Christopher Rufo. “A homeless man with a baseball bat wandered along the borderline and two unofficial medics in medieval-style chain mail stood ready for action.”

Durkan, for her part, insisted on CNN that the CHOP was “not an armed takeover.”

“It’s not a military junta,” she said. “We will make sure that we can restore this, but we have block parties and the like in this part of Seattle all the time. It’s known for that.”

At least two people were shot and killed in and around the CHOP. Several others were injured in shooting incidents, pushing city officials eventually to pull the plug on the protesters’ free-form experiment in modern secession.

But, yes. By all means, let us hear what Mayor Durkan has to say in response to Gov. Noem’s assertion that Democrat-run cities are being “overrun by violent mobs."

The funny thing is: One can level a measured and reasonable counterargument in response to the governor’s address. But to hand that responsibility to Mayor Durkan, of all people? That is like going to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for advice on how best to stop the spread of a viral disease in nursing homes. Thanks, but no thanks.

Trump's America.

This is the only real takeaway I get from that article.

When that's all you want to hear that happens.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I listened to a great interview on the radio today that was Mayor Holt (Oklahoma City) and Mayor Lucas (Kansas City). A Dem and an Rep. Both spoke articulately and highlighted real challenges and perceived/media invented challenges.... Holt is a a Republican but he was at pains to highlight that this imagined battle for America's soul is fiction. We aren't enemies if we don't agree politically. The country was fine under Obama and it will be fine again whenever the next Dem is POTUS. His advise for those thinking that every city was burning and there is/was conflict all around us .... turn off the media.

No idea what the chances would be but Holt was someone easily more electable for me than Biden or Trump. He spoke of the need to come together, work together, not to dehumanize those we don't align with politically. Total opposite of Trump and his administration.

Time for Trump's acceptance speech and I'm on pins and needles... lmao.

He said he took on big pharma and did something to lower the cost of meds.

What did he do?

ranted on twitter about it, i guess.

he signed a couple executive orders trying to lower drug prices.

how come Trump's family members keep glossing over the 180k deaths due to COVID?

for god's sake, Eric tried to claim the dems talk about that too much.

are you freaking serious?

god you can tell he wants to ditch the teleprompter and YOLO the speech

Trump sounds like a souncloud rapper who is clearly reading off the iphone while in the booth.

I found it. This will help people.

For some reason, my 'like' button isn't working tonight.
I'm motivated to do extra work, this time.

My "like" button hasn't worked for a while now

Lmao, Bro seriously though.

The speech was a snooze fest. They were literally better off allowing him to just wing it like he always does.

Trump supporters knocked Biden for reading off a teleprompter. Well they need to explain this then. Cause trump reads like a 3rd grader trying to a read to his uninterested parents a story about dinosaurs. Good lord that was terrible.

Actually, Trump supporters don't need to do a damn thing but vote for him. Just like Biden supporters don't need to do a damn thing but vote for their man.

All the other stuff is just whiny crap from both sides that will never change a thing.

Boring, but effective (I think) acceptance speech by Trump ...... but the fireworks were incredible! That was the best fireworks display I have ever seen. The opera single singing the national anthem was impressive too.

Agree.

I don't think he changed any minds, but I don't think that Biden did either.

Yes and no. I think some fence sitters might be swayed.

But ultimately the debates will sort them.

Trump campaigns shamelessly with huge crowds at the WH not wearing masks while thousands of Americans die everyday. While we have 20% unemployment. While their unemployment compensation dwindles. While two hurricanes hit the Gulf coast. After 4 years......At what point is trump going to actually do the job he swore on the Bible to do?

Trump’s America..... 100% horse crap........

I think back to the names varies eras that have gone before... Roaring 20's, the Great Depression, Civil War... Etc.

I'm convinced that 20 or 30 or more years into the future, this will known as the era of Trumps Race War...

Or the Trump Pandemic of 2020!

Trump will go down as the Joseph McCarthy that got through.....

I do believe the Mark Meadows, Mitch McConnells, Lindsey Grahams, Matt Gaitz, Jim Jordans of the world will be held accountable complicity.

Burning Man has a fireworks display each year that makes what trump just did look like a pre event warm up. Just saying.

Any trump supporters out there wanna explain the o me why trumps economic advisor is trash talking Canada?

So amongst all the other allies trump Decided to beef with, now our neighbors up north are problems?

Guess you haven't been paying attention, Canada has been a problem for Trump since before he was elected...

I mean they are proof we could have healthcare for all.... he can't stand that.

What's up with Navarro? Let's say the man is incredibly dumb...

Or he's just a spineless lackey doing what he thinks will win him Trump approval.... or a bit of both.

I certainly have had the impression that Trump's administration (not the American people) is letting us to hang out to dry. We are your your biggest trading partner...

Fact check: Trump makes more than 20 false or misleading claims in accepting presidential nomination

https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/27/politics/rnc-night-four-fact-check/index.html

Doesn’t even matter. The people that support trump see themselves in him. They like the trash he says because they also believe it as well.

#FACTSDONTMATTER

Been saying that hashtag for a while ... it's not in jest, it's the damn truth.

j/c

This should make the man immediately qualified to be a top campaign official in trump's reelection campaign.
