House Majority Whip James Clyburn defends Democrats who jumped on Thursday's Buzzfeed story that was debunked by special counsel Robert Mueller's office by noting that they all qualified their statements with, "if this is true."
"When you preface your statement with 'if this is true,' that, to me, gives you all the cover you need," Clyburn said on FOX News Sunday. "If they had said something as if it were true, then that would be one thing to be concerned about, but they've all said, 'if this is true.'"

REP. JAMES CLYBURN: Well, Chris, when you preface your statement with 'if this is true,' that, to me, gives you all the cover you need. And I would say that. If it is true -- now, if they had said something as if it were true then that would be one thing to be concerned about, but they've all said if this is true. There are a lot of things that I hear daily. If it were true I would be concerned about it.
Sometimes, you would preface it with that and sometimes you just don't say anything.
So I don't think that my Democratic friends in any way rushing to judgment because the qualified right upfront, if this is true.

If this is true, most Democrats are demon possessed. Democrats = Demoncrats.
The old insinuation game... GOP doesn’t talk that way right now, but I could see Donald Trump doing it, just to show America what it looks like.
If it’s true Obama was born in Kenya, then he shouldn’t have been president. So then he has no problem with this statement or with Trump previously wanting to see the birth certificate to determine “if this is true”, right?
The LIARS are just tired of getting caught telling LIES and now want some cover so they can continue to be liars telling lies.
The democrat party and the democrats who belong to that anti American socialist organization are desperate, pathetic,serial liars.
The rest of us need to make sure we properly label them as the LIARS they are at each and every opportunity.
If it’s true that you are child molestor...yeah sure thing dufus.
Where, then, we’re the “if not true” speculations?
If it is true, Nancy Pelosi is a horse.
If it is true, Democrats are aliens, illegal or not.
If it is true, Cortez is not alive, just a robot.
Hey this works for me. Let's do it and flood the Internet with fake news.
So,
“if it’s true” that Barack Obama is raping children and smoking crack ...
then that would be serious ...
(is this really what it’s come to?)
leftards feel more comfortable in a fantasy world of hypotheticals and delusions rather than reality
Our luck that they would be at opposite ends, so the island would not just flip over due to the counterbalance effect! Bummer!
Elizabeth Warren???
If it is true, clyburn molests 9 year old little boys.
If it is true, mind you.
So l guess we can run a story that Obongo was a poofter who gave the Chinese the launch codes as long we say “if this is true”.
Clyburn raped 3 little girls and boys.....IF THIS IS TRUE WHAT I READ! Is THAT what he is saying?
Hey James, spoken like a true Lawn Jockey! Keep on keepin’ on making South Carolina “proud” that you represent them.
If it is true, and it is, that hillary clinton committed numerous felonies, then she should be put in prison. Does that pass the preface test?
Let's talk about it and talk it up - then send the story to CNN... they'll cover it even if we don't have evidence because IF it was true it WOULD be a great story. (oh wait, the dishonest press only makes 'mistakes' when it hurts people with "R"s by their names... never-mind.
FWIW, I can’t believe all 535 aren’t being grilled about NDAs.
Talk about low-hanging fruit....
Sources tell me that Congressman Clyburn is a necrophagic child fiddler. If true he should be tossed from the House of Representatives.
Such frauds.
