FOR PETES SAKE...it wasn’t FAKE news that caused HILLARY to loose the election. If there ever WAS any Fake News it was coming from CNN and NBC...and the New York Times. That really needs to sink in, Mr. and Mrs. Clinton. How many times does the 52 million people that voted against you need to say this.

I suppose she’s upset by all the fake polls and fake news stories about her having a 98 percent chance of winning. She couldn’t possibly be upset by the thousand of “hate crime” hoaxes that ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, NYT and WP have headlined over the last 30 years. Maybe she’s upset about all the fakenews that her campaign and its media lapdogs spread about Trump over the last 1.5 years. Maybe she’s upset about the fakenews about Iraq having Weapons of Mass Destruction which got her to pounce on voting for the invasion.

It seems to me that it is her allies and lapdogs in the media who are responsible for spreading the most fakenews.

Make no mistake, this rather sudden explosion of the 'fake news' narrative on the web, in the media and mentioned by numerous political hacks is a GLOBALIST PSY-OP AIMED AT JUSTIFYING THEIR BANNING OF CONSERVATIVE WEBSITES FROM THE INTERNET.

The above is NOT fake news.

Democraps have lost control of the narrative to social media and cannot handle it.

For 200 years the news was handled by politicos. Not any more.

Absolutely this is a Psy-Op, I think it’s quite odd how all of a sudden a textbook redneck gunman showed up at Comet Ping-Pong Pizza just to underscore how Democracy is threatened by a lack of government control over information.

Thank you Hillary for explaining to us how Democracy is threatened by the free flow of information. Even if you had been better able to control the flow of information you still would have lost the election because you are a LOSER. An evil, degenerate, criminal witch LOSER.

LOSER!!!
