Fake News story #231: This story assumes that Maxine Waters is both honest and intelligent. She is neither.
In an article in The Hill, we are given this report as if it was something worthy of a news report:
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) played up reports that Vice President
Pence is eyeing a 2020 presidential run on Sunday, warning that
President Trump should be concerned about his second-in-command.
"The
rumor is is that [Pence] is getting ready because maybe he believes
that something might happen and he should be ready to step in, or that
he could run in 2020 and win," Waters told MSNBC's Joy Reid Sunday on
"AM Joy."
"So I don't think that we should be concerned about him. Trump should be concerned about him," she continued.
If The Hill was doing its jobs as a news service, Maxine Waters' words would have never seen the light of day. Why? Because the "rumor" was not a rumor at all, but, a storyline made up by editors at the NY Times. This is a story that has no "source," exists without a shred of evidence, is laughable on its face, and is a lie. Understand that a "lie" is something told with sole purpose to deceive. With that definition, again, we conclude that the NY Times rumor is nothing short of a lie, designed to deceive . . . . . . . and Waters knows it.
If you disagree, it is only because you are an idiot, by definition. In fact, I am making this story a litmus test for sanity . . . . . . . accept it as a distant possibility and you are a full fledged idiot, plain and simple.
