No one ever said that Scalia was found with a pillow over his face.

That's a lie. John Poindexter has been quoted as having said that.

Don't waste your time. Trump could come out and say "good morning" and the zealots here would attacking in some contorted fashion.

If I didn't know better I'd think some of these posters are here to get hill or burn elected...and that goes for the zealots on both sides (Cruz, Trump)

smh

It is NOT a lie.
Not to be testy, but apparently you can't read either. How are these statements even close to the same thing?:

Poindexter:
"We discovered the judge in bed, a pillow over his head. His bedclothes were unwrinkled..."

Trump:
"But they say they found a pillow on his face, which is a pretty unusual place to find a pillow..."

Poindexter's statement leaves room for interpretation. Trump's does not. Yet Trump's statement is not accurate based on what Poindexter actually said.

Seems to me I read it here on FR as well. But no one could use that to bash Trump so it apparently doesn’t matter. The DTS is in full blown mode again.

While many people might sleep with a pillow over their face, in total percentages it is unusual. Doesn’t offer good oxygen exchange either for those who do.

You are wrong. He said head, not face. Your link says head, not face.

“... UPDATE: CNN’s Jake Tapper passes on further comment by the ranch owner whose account of Scalia being found “in bed, a pillow over his head” set off the whole thing.
The pillow was “over his head, not his face,” the owner, John Poindexter, clarified.....”

(Copy of Tapper’s tweet at the link)
Over his head, NOT his face.
