White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders blasted what she called "massive media hysteria" after a redheaded White House staffer in an Oval Office photograph was misidentified as an alleged Russian spy.

A reporter for the news outlet Mic tweeted Tuesday that Maria Butina, the women arrested Sunday on charges of conspiracy against the U.S., visited the Oval Office last year during a visit by Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov.

"This is Maria Butina – arrested for being a Russian spy – in the Oval Office with Trump," the reporter tweeted, with a photo showing a red-haired young woman in the background.

They’re now throwing everything they can get their hands on....nothing sticks.
I suspect one of Trump’s SHTF moments may be near.

As usual, the "Media" didn't check the facts, but nevermind, they can still make a [FAKE] news story out of it.

It is more than hysteria. Add to the mix lunacy, idiocy, blind hatred, self-loathing, inadequacy, worthlessness, fecklessness, sedition and general mental instability. What a group of losers...

Wow, they just screwed the pooch big time. Red headed Russian spies should be the new metaphor for fake news.

Interestingly, not a WORD about the deliberate error in the mainstream media. Google search shows NONE have chosen to talk about this deliberate attempt to dump Trump.

‘One thing that could potentially clear all this up is The White House visitors logs that are kept and were released during the previous Administration. Unfortunately the Trump regime stopped the practice of releasing visitor logs’.....Gizmodo

Oh wait just a darned minute there......didn’t the Obama release SOME of the visitor logs, with SOME names being redacted?? And SOME names that were questioned (like Bill Ayers), but the Zero Admin said ‘there are lots of people with that name’. And the Media said ‘thank you Sir, may I have another’? Or am I misremembering?

Misidentifications happen, for gosh sakes..
Ronald McDonald, Sr. was just trying to keep up with the news of lettuce recalls for his son.
He deserves a break today.

Something must be about to happen and they know it. They are throwing everything they got at Trump and his supporters.
