Sarah Huckabee Spreading ‘Pizzagate Nonsense’ W/ Claim About Bin Laden, Press, Says Scarborough
Newsweek ^ | August 2, 2018 | Greg Price

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders lied and spread “Pizzagate nonsense” about the media thwarting the apprehension of Osama bin Laden in the late 1990s, Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough said Thursday.

Scarborough’s comments followed Sanders’s press briefing Wednesday when she reiterated a claim first made by former President George W. Bush and the 9/11 Commission about a 1998 report from The Washington Times. That report mentioned bin Laden used a satellite phone, and Bush claimed bin Laden stopped using it in order to avoid detection from U.S. intelligence.

The claim has been widely panned and proven incorrect as bin Laden’s use of the phone was documented at least two years and several times before 1998.

“But then speaking of fake news, you have Sarah Huckabee Sanders pushing a lie,” Scarborough said. “The fake news about some report on Osama bin Laden and how the press actually stopped American military men and women from catching [bin Laden]. She might as well have said Neil Armstrong never walked on the moon. Just pure conspiracy, ‘Pizzagate’ nonsense.”(continued)

Was bin Laden ordering halal pizza with his sat phone? I heard bin Laden had a cute little female servant found dead of blunt force trauma in his Pakistani office. Oh, wait. That wasn’t bin Laden, it was the guy whining in the article.

If there's any fake news I trust, it's Morning Ho...

I know that when it comes to news, commentary and editorials, there's no team I trust better than Joe and Mika. Their professionalism is always on display. The most trusted name in news - next to Brian Williams.

Wasn’t it an ABC news reporter who was involved with the guy who procured the sat phone for bin Laden in the first place?

Obama’s real estate-buying Syrian-American buddy Antoin “Tony “ Rezko had a string of pizza restaurants in northern Illinois, IIRC

How does bin Laden’s use of a sat phone prior to1998 disprove a claim that he ceased using the phone after a western media report in 1998?

Sometimes I think reporters just write something snarky claiming to correct/fact check the record... knowing that most of their readers will never notice logical fallacies but will remember and repeat the “snarky fact check.”

Trying t figure out how Bush’s claim about the stoppage of the use of the sat phone by bin Laden is “pizzagate” conspiracy stuff when pizzagate wasn’t even born until over a decade later.

Please refrain from looking behind the curtain. Not only is it rude, it’s counterproductive and probably illegal.

"That’s where he keeps his brains... between her legs."

About the only part of Joe that gets between her legs IMO. She make a big ta-do about refusing to hold his hand on camera a couple weeks back.

Blunt force trama is likely the only way Pansy Joe can get with a female. Mika obviously has his balls on a string back in wardrobe.

Mika is way past her prime. Lucky for her there is a professional group of make-up artists to make her passingly decent.
