A Washington Post reporter, in an attempt to deflect the fact that most political violence in the country comes from the Left, has decided to spew a common falsehood. The Daily Wire reports:
A reporter for The Washington Post, apparently enraged that National Review issued an op-ed correctly denouncing the Democratic Party for their recent rhetoric that has stoked the flames of violence, issued a tweet in which he blamed “right-wing anger/mobs” for instigating the shooting of Congresswoman Gabby Giffords in 2011.
This Nat'l Review editorial would have a lot more potency if NR owned up to fact that 2010 right-wing anger/mobs played a role in dehumanizing Congress, helping lead to Giffords shooting in 2011. https://t.co/7Nd37igSEg

Kane should know better; the shooter who targeted Giffords, Jared Loughner, was shown to have no political leanings, a fact that was offered in response to his irresponsible tweet:

The mainstream media is trusted by fewer Americans than ever before, and stunts like this will not help their credibility.
CNN=Clueless Network News! Centralized NAZI News!Communist NWK News.AKA: Fake News! MSM=Fake News, Fox News!The Pravda Commie newspapers and their propaganda MOB machine at full throttle! Vote republican to save the country from swamp news! No RINOs, pls!
It does seem like it is Trump and his followers who are always instigating violence like when Trump told his followers that they should punch others in the face, or knock them down and now the cGOP candidate that says he is going to stomp all over his opponent wirg gilf spikes, and look at the posts where others are saying they are taking up arms against Liberals and they should be killed. The fact is protests now sometimes roudy and very seldom violent in any way unless confronted by the opposition.
Now as far as the Media goes maybe people do not trust it but then viewer numbers keep going up, and even FOX news is not immune they just do not tell the entire thing like most of the so caslled Liberal news who point out everything.
Tell a lie often enough and people will believe it . . .communist tactic
Agreed Pineapple,obviously Robert only watches CNN or worse yet MSNBC.
CNN’s Not News == CNN
You conveniently forgot to mention the terror group ANTIFA. Must’ve been a slip, I’m sure….
You mean like leftist media called TEA party rallies ‘mobs’ while describing antifa aggitation as ‘peaceful, well ordered gatherings’ ?
Boy, you sure are drinking the kool-aid. Did you ever attend a Tea Party rally; no, probably not. If you had you would have seen sensible, non-violent people. No one blocked traffic, attacked others with an opposing point of view, destroyed property, or confronted politicians while out to dinner. You must listen to MSNBC that’s why you have no clue about all the good things going on.
Talk about rewriting history:
The Left causes a disturbance at a PRIVATE Trump rally. As they are being forcibly removed, they assault Security. Trump tells the audience to assist Security by punching the VIOLENT protesters to help get them out of the PRIVATE venue.
This venue was NOT open to the general public; it was open to Trump supporters. Trump did say that if any of his supporters were sued for assisting Security, he would pay for their defense.
Conservatives are talking about taking up arms for SELF DEFENSE AGAINST A DISPARITY OF FORCE!. Meet force with force!
Name the times when the Liberal MSM has pointed out EVERYTHING. FOX News has beaten the major Liberal Media Outlets consistently.
It is obvious the leftists are all insane. No one in the right mind would even consider the imbecile notions they have for their agenda. Their candidates do not make sense, they cannot even speak on their policies and ideas without making fools of themselves. Time to vote them all out!
Doesn’t matter if you had 24 caret proof that Jared was a demented imbecile, along with his mother who knew him best for his behaviour…the Left would always contrive a story to free the imbecile from fault…but Palin would be punished for being conservative. There is no winning with the Left, it is a uncontrolled mob disease. Take the factor of lying…for eight year we had one Alinskyite in the oval office who majored in Lying, gave it to us broadside. They the Left are now the most lying organization and have become a terrorist mob on anything the Left does not like. Suffer our President Trump, with no end.

And who in his right mind pays any attention to what the Washington Post prints nowadays…??????
How about the piece of wet, used toilet paper the New York Times turned
into…??????
The democrats must Lie , or they would never get elected.
Speaking of lying, see the following:
I will have the most transparent administration in history.
The stimulus will fund shovel-ready jobs. I
I am focused like a laser on creating jobs.
The IRS is not targeting anyone.
It was a spontaneous riot about a movie.
If I had a son., he would look like Travon Martin.
I will put an end to the type of politics that “breeds division, conflict and cynicism”.
You didn’t build that!
I will restore trust in Government.
The Cambridge cops acted stupidly.
The public will have 5 days to look at every bill that lands on my desk
It’s not my red line – it is the world’s red line.
Whistle blowers will be protected in my administration.
We got back every dime we used to rescue the banks and auto companies, with interest.
I am not spying on American citizens.
Obama Care will be good for America .
You can keep your family doctor.
Premiums will be lowered by $2500.
If you like it, you can keep your current healthcare plan.
It’s just like shopping at Amazon.
I knew nothing about “Fast and Furious” gunrunning to Mexican drug cartels.
I knew nothing about IRS targeting conservative groups.
I knew nothing about what happened in Benghazi .
I have never known my uncle from Kenya who is in the country illegally and that was arrested and told to leave the country over 20 years ago.
And, I have never lived with that uncle. He finally admitted ( 12-05-2013 ) that he DID know his uncle and that he DID live with him.
And the biggest one of all:
“I, Barrack Hussein Obama, pledge to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America .”
You forgot— I will redistribute the wealth and build a citizen army bigger and better equipped than the military.
I thought the Gifford’s shooting was due to Sarah Palin posting campaign posters with Democrats in cross hairs. 😉 By the way, just about every political assassination or attempt starting with Lincoln has been done by a Democrat or Muslim.
DEMOCRATS KILL PEOPLE!
>> Maybe the ‘NRA’ should ban Democrats
>> In 1865 a Democrat shot and killed Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States. In 1881 a left wing radical Democrat shot James Garfield, President of the United States who later died from the wound. In 1963 a radical left wing socialist shot and killed John F. Kennedy, President of the United States. In 1975 a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at Gerald Ford, President of the United States. In 1983 a registered Democrat shot and wounded Ronald Reagan, President of the United States. In 1984 James Hubert, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 22 people in a McDonalds restaurant. In 1986 Patrick Sherrill, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 15 people in an Oklahoma post office. In 1990 James Pough, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 10 people at a GMAC office. In 1991 George Hennard, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 23 people in a Luby’s cafeteria. In 1995 James Daniel Simpson, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 5 coworkers in a Texas laboratory. In 1999 Larry Asbrook, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 8 people at a church service. In 2001 a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at the White House in a failed attempt to kill George W. Bush, President of the US. In 2003 Douglas Williams, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 7 people at a Lockheed Martin plant. In 2007 a registered Democrat named Seung – Hui Cho, shot and in 2010 a mentally ill registered Democrat named Jared Lee Loughner, shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killed 6 others. In 2011 a registered Democrat named James Holmes, went into a movie theater and shot and killed 12 people. In 2012 Andrew Engeldinger, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 7 people in Minneapolis. In 2013 a registered Democrat named Adam Lanza, shot and killed 26 people in a school. As recently as Sept 2013, an angry Democrat shot 12 at a Navy ship yard. One could go on, but you get the point, even if the media does not. Clearly, there is a problem with Democrats and guns. Not one NRA member, Tea Party member, or Republican conservatives were involved in these shootings and murders. SOLUTION: It should be illegal for Democrats to own guns. Best idea I’ve heard to date.
If mental health issues were flagged when people try to buy guns and the sale is not allowed,no Democrats would have guns.
And what about the shooting of GOP Congressman Scalise during a baseball game?
How quickly the left forgets.
Jared’s mother was Democrat County Chairperson. For political reasons she refused to have her obviously demented son committed.
