Who would warn POTUS and Bannon not to celebrate the death of some Muslim kid?

 

For the record, I don't think that she lied. I think that, speaking off the cuff, she got it into her head that there had been a Bowling Green Massacre. Point is, YF, people make mistakes, and it isn't always because they are bald-faced lying.

 

But it was a "mistake" that fit her preconceived ideas about Muslims.

 

No doubt.

The difference between the two is small, and neither is an excuse for shoddy journalism.

 

When you have to explain a joke, it loses its power. But for the historical record:

1. Making people cry: Joke.

2. PMs from prominent posters: Joke.

3. Scottie Pippen playing on Arkansas' national championship team: Joke.

 

I believe Kellyanne believes it.

Which disqualifies her from the position.
