FAKE NEWS: A misquote from Gabriel Sherman with Chris Hayes is making the rounds (tr)

On last night’s “All In With Chris Hayes,” journalist Gabriel Sherman told of a conversation he had with a “prominent Republican” who said that “they imagine” different scenarios of what Chief of Staff John Kelly and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis might do if Trump decided to use nukes on another country.

Focus on “imagine,” as in they’re making it up.

Here’s the exact quote from Sherman:

“I just want to, you know,  put into context a conversation I had with a very prominent Republican today, who literally was saying that they imagine Gen. Kelly and Secretary Mattis have had conversations that if Trump lunged for the nuclear football, what would they do? Would they tackle him? I mean literally, physically restrain him from putting the country at sort of perilous risk.”

Now, here’s how that’s being spun: “GOP source says Kelly and Mattis discuss what to do if Trump lunges for the nuclear football.”

GOP source says Kelly and Mattis discuss what to do if Trump lunges for the nuclear football.

Let that sink in.

No. No. No. This GOP sources is imagining that this conversation is taking place, not that the source has evidence that it has taken place.

The idea that one man can launch all those missiles is absurd.

lunges for the nuclear football.

Is the assumption here that somebody fumbled it? Would he run with it or pass it?

very prominent Republican

Could be anyone from McCain to that dumf*"k governor of Ohio.

Sad part is I'm sure they never considered the other side of the equations -- What our enemies think and how will this influence them?

... or have they?

I tell you what would happen to anybody getting in between the President and the Football. They will be summarily executed. Some of those Secret Service agents aren't there only to protect the President.
