The lawmaker on Saturday parsed his words about supporting congressional oversight of a whistle-blower’s complaint against President Trump.

Republican member of the House of Representatives spent Saturday clarifying his support for congressional oversight of a whistle-blower’s complaint against President Trump, which the lawmaker’s office contended was not the same as endorsing the impeachment inquiry being led by Democrats.The congressman,

Mark Amodei, rejected the distinction that he was the first Republican House member to support the inquiry, with his spokeswoman,

Logan Tucker, saying that the word “inquiry” gave the wrong impression that the congressman supported Mr. Trump’s impeachment.That could be problematic for Mr. Amodei, who is chairman of Mr. Trump’s re-election campaign in Nevada, a state the president lost by about 27,000 votes to Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Here we go with the NY Slimes twisting a story and people wetting the bed. FR used to actually check this stuff and zot the trolls. I haven’t seen a good zot in a few years.

It’s amazing just how fast the NYSlimes adds and retracts stories. It seems that they want to follow the Pelosi Playbook. Splash and wrap the lie. Hold the retraction until something else breaks. It has worked since the time of LBJ. It’s just that with the shortened news cycle some of the guppies haven’t forgotten everything.
