Elle magazine slammed for lying about Kim Kardashian, Kanye West breakup to promote voter registration

Elle magazine came under fire Thursday for sending a false tweet to its 6.8 million followers claiming Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are “splitting up” — but the attached link directed readers to register to vote in the upcoming midterm elections.

“Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are splitting up,” Elle’s verified account tweeted with emojis of a broken heart and panicked face.

Stunned readers who clicked on the link for more details were directed to a “Register To Vote” page.

Elle and CNN = Lügenpresse. The Elle editors don’t need to worry - I’ll make sure they have reserved bunks in the camp.

Tweet from them:
We made a bad joke. Our passion for voter registration clouded our judgement and we are sincerely sorry.

Well if we had an AG he/she would conclude running a fake story to register Rat voters is a pretty obvious violation of election laws. We will not hear word from Magoo but he’s this close to finding out where the pot is coming from.

Sooner or later, narcotics will have to be decriminalized. That should free up enough resources for the AG and DoJ to do something constructive.

And people on the left complain about Trump talking about fake news, as if he isn’t justified in doing so.
