Green New Deal

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell criticized Democrats for wanting to pass more regulations, including suggesting that Democrats want to tell Americans "how many hamburgers you can eat."

Facts First: This is a clear exaggeration. Democrats have not called for limiting how many hamburgers Americans can eat. Sen. Kamala Harris of California, Biden's running mate, has said she would support changing dietary guidelines, a far cry from mandating what people can eat.

CNN lies saying the riots were peaceful.

CNN stoked the murders.

REMOVE the CNN License OR defund the useless FCC.

If they can force us to wear masks, why not control our diet? Heart disease and diabetes kill more people than Covid. Look how easy it was to force masks on us.

Is this the same CNN that had to pay off a high school kid for lying about him?

Maybe they should start working on fact-checking in their own backyard first.

Unfortunately, CNN doesn’t come under the aegis of the FCC. They’re cable, not the public airwaves.

I believe NOTHING I hear on ‘CNN/msNBC/NBC. They’ve proven time and gain they’re not to be trusted.

If the claim concerns me, I’ll verify independently. .....I don’t want to be wrong.

Leftists have pushed for an end to meet eating altogether. Eat bugs if you must have live protein.
