Bill Nelson spreads wrong information after shootings in Liberty City, Parkland
Miami Hurled ^ | 4/9/18 | ALEX DAUGHERTY AND DAVID SMILEY

....Florida’s only statewide elected Democrat spread misinformation after the Parkland shooting, and now he’s spreading misinformation about a shooting in Liberty City that claimed the lives of two young people.....

In a tweet on Sunday night, Nelson cited a Democratic state representative and said “apparently assault weapons [were] used”...

Nelson also spread misinformation about the Parkland shooting.

Four hours after the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Nelson went on a media blitz with the major TV networks. He cited the FBI and said shooter Nikolas Cruz wore a gas mask and tossed smoke grenades as he shot people. Neither of those details turned out to be true....

This is a VERY RARE instance of Miami media taking a Demon Rat to task for lying to the public.

Only seen this in the Miami Herald. Nowhere else.

Nelsen is boarder line incoherent these days. It’s a real shame these clowns in the Senate refuse to go away while they still have the capacity to enjoy a few sunset years.

It is time to educate people about the real criminal in Broward (or at least one of the main ones).

Every time I see him on TV he seems senile. Not crazy like Pelosi, but a bit in over his head senile.

AMAZING, another lie from the chief liar of the leftists anti-gun control idiocy crowd Bill Nelson. Just another career political hack, determined to disarmed the Law Abiding American Citizen to create more victims so as to pass even more law to eventually take all our rights and have total control over us. And remember people, Bill Nelson, knew what happened at Parkland and said nothing about the ineptitude of the Broward County Sheriff’s Dept. and is a supporter of Sheriff’s Scott Israel and especially the fact that he has known Muslim Brotherhood operatives as Deputies in the department.

That's what happens to gun-grabbing baby-killers.

Scott will take this seat and De Santis will hold the State House.

Scott better start opening up an investigation exposing those failed policies employed by the Parkland school board even if it opens the state up ro a bunch of law suits if he wants to win that Senate seat.

This duplicitous old swamp dweller is about what it will take to make Rick Scott (Bushitarian) look like an improvement in the Senate.

The defeat of the Democrats is baked into the 2018 elections if anyone will convince Republicans that they cannot win as the GOPe.

“Cruz wore a gas mask and tossed smoke grenades as he shot people. Neither of those details turned out to be true”....

Once again, its the power of suggestion. By telling people what you WANT them to hear and doing it continually, eventually people will begin to believe anything. Such “power” is a marvelous tool, and the demodummies know it.
