Reps. Pelosi, Cummings, and NY Times all fall for tweet from fake Flynn account

Democratic Reps. Nancy Leosi and Elijah Cummings issued statements calling for an investigation into the activities of former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, citing a tweet that suggested other people were involved in the incident. The New York Times also cited the tweet in their reporting.

The problem for Pelosi, Cummings, and the Times is that the tweet originated on a fake Michael Flynn Twitter account.

USA Today:

"I believe we need to hold a public hearing with Flynn to get to the bottom of this," Cummings said during a news conference on Capitol Hill, citing the parody tweet.

Pelosi said, "The inference to be drawn from his statement is that other people had blame that should be shared in all of this."

The tweets came from an unverified account that launched this month. It has since been labeled a parody account by multiple news outlets and Snopes.

Isn’t it lovely to actually witness the reading comprehension levels demonstrated by slack-jaw, half-wits?

Even stupider....

Maxine waters fell for the phone call from the Ukrainian comic....says she wanted to meet face-to-face.

She never figured out no Russian in their right mind would ever call on a moron like her.

They're too stupid to understand that a three-star-general is extremely unlikely to make such asinine tweets.

The fascist DemocRAT crowd have to be some of the dumbest idiots to ever roam the face of the Earth. I mean, the dinosaurs were smarter than this bunch.

When one of Pelosi’s aides tried to explain to her that the account was fake, she said, “What do you mean, it’s fake?”

Not making it up.

One would think they would be more worried about Russia attacking Korea or Guam tipping over.

Notice how the Dems continue to use dumbass Blacks (Cummings, Lewis, Waters, Booker) to do their dirty work. Cause, ya know, they can’t be questioned cause that would be racist. And of course, being lackeys, the Blacks readily agree.
