If you read Thursday's CNN article, "How a swift impeachment was born under siege," you might scratch your head in puzzlement when reading the second paragraph:

So he reached for his Probar, not a crowbar. A metrosexual move.

There was also this observation from the vice president of the Media Research Center, Dan Gainor: “Notice how the original of this ridiculous story depicted Rep. Lieu as a crowbar wielding hero, not as the corrected version describes as a guy so calm he grabbed an ‘organic energy chew,’”

If one thought one was in a truly terrifying situation, would one pause to grab a snack?

I want to think that someone misheard Crow for Pro...

but on the other hand why would it even to worthy to point out he grabbed a probar energy bar?

and his probiotic vitamins.

and as I just posted, why would that even be newsworthy?

Since you didn't see fit to include the CNN site link, here it is:

It has been "corrected" to "Pro-Bar".

I’m thinking your correct. It’s CNN, so it’s all about the narrative and not the truth.

Coming from the same folks that are trying to tell you that 2+2=5, yeah........

Might as well be....CROW-bar....the other black meat...

I bet, the Congresscritter really DID have a crowbar, but that is either

1. a violation of some House office rule ("no weapons may be kept in an office") and they had the willing press remove the evidentiary statement, OR

2. A violation of the DNC talking points about why only the police should have guns/the means for self-defense.

They'd rather the Congressloser sound weak than Republican.

Maybe the ProBar was to Ted Lieu what spinach is to Popeye?
