CNN Fact Checks Sean Spicer Joke About Salad Dressing

Breitbart ^ | 03/29/2017 | Ezra Dulis

CNN has published a stinging fact check of the Trump Administration, exposing several falsehoods in a joke that White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer made Tuesday about salad dressing.

During the afternoon’s White House press briefing, Spicer made a quip about conspiracy theories that U.S. President Donald Trump is an agent of Russian President Vladimir Putin — recruited via blackmail in 2013 — and how the professional journalists who believe this conspiracy might add consumption of “Russian dressing” to their pile of circumstantial evidence.

Case closed? Hardly. CNN’s Michelle Krupa dug deep and found that ACKSHUALLY, Russian dressing has no direct connection to the country that hacked our election. Krupa penned a fact check headlined “Russian dressing is actually from Nashua, New Hampshire”:

The msm, #FAKENEWS, has lost it.

They are certifiable.

This article some more examples of where the Opposition Party takes Trump literally, not seriously; whereas the rest of us take Trump seriously, not literally.

The Opposition Party is:
- msm (CNN #FAKENEWS, NBC, etc)
- Democrats
- GOPe/RINOS (such as McCain, etc)
- Hollywood
- Education (colleges, etc)
- intelligence community

Too bad they refused to fact check Saddam Hussein.

What’s’ the next revelation? French Fries aren’t from France? I hate the media.

That’s thousand island.

Thanks for that!

I heard that the President sometimes likes to listen to the works of Shostakovich. I assure you that he was not from New Hampshire.

I like vinegrette on my Subway turkey sandwich. Salad dressing is important

I heard that the President sometimes likes to listen to the works of Shostakovich.

He might like caviar too... but of course we all know caviar comes from Idaho.

SASHA (real name NATASHA) Obama is unavailable for comment.

Oh jeez, don’t let that “freedom fries” start up again.

"Krupa penned a fact check headlined “Russian dressing is actually from Nashua, New Hampshire"

And yet it would not prevent the media from reporting evidence of a Russian conspiracy if Trump did have Russian dressing on his salad (Much to Spicer'so original point),

In a world where a sitting pResident can claim to have visited 57 states, another can claim that he was never alone in the White House with a ‘friend’ by using the excuse there is ALWAYS someone in the White House as in Guard, Communicator, Secretary etc etc etc, can actually make a statement like ‘it depends on what the meaning of is is’ and they are proclaimed geniuses.

So am very glad that ‘they’ have the resources to research etc where ‘Russian Dressing’ comes from..

NOW - the Rs should have someone come back and claim that no one ever said Russian Dressing came from Russia, just the fact that if he used ‘Russian Dressing’ it would tie him to Putin.

We are back in the GHW Bush days of ignoring stupid statements because no one would believe it (In Bush’s thoughts)

I never did like the Lance P choice, not sure I like the ‘green’ son in law in such a high position...

It is okay if YOU are a novice but it behooves one to surround himself with the best possible aides.

Much as I think Newt is two faced, and Christy a ‘phony’ they should be out there as spokesmen and don’t sit back and let the other side ride rampant.

Way things are going now, may as well put Shumer & Pelosi in charge of Senate & House, at least there would be no asking why nothing is getting done when ‘WE’ control all 3 branches.

It never did. Thousand Island is in a Reuben Sammich!

You can buy that sub sandwich vinegarette. It is so good on a cold cut sandwich.

I just read Wikipedia on the Reuben sandwich. It says there are two main origin stories, with other variations. One credits the Blackstone Hotel in Omaha NE., the other Reuben’s Deli in NYC. Both had Russian dressing, which is credited as having originated in Nashua NH in 1911.
