How to rate this
right wing talking point designed to keep hatred alive
CLAIM FROM HERE:
Speaking at the University of
California Berkeley in May 2018, Hillary Clinton warned about “Trump deplorables
calling them the biggest threats to America.”
RATING:
FALSE
Why is this rated false? Simple: Hillary Clinton never said this, and in fact she was
nowhere near UC Berkeley in May 2018 or any other time that month at all. She didn’t
speak at Berkeley in May 2018 and there no public records of her, or anyone
else, making that statement anywhere at any time, either.
The quotation in fact appears
to have been fabricated from scratch by “America’s Last Line of Defense,” a
Facebook page run by Christopher
Blair, a notorious purveyor of what Trump calls “Fake News” who uses
several pseudonyms and operates a network of web sites including: “As American As Apple Pie” and “Freedum Junkshun,” all of which claim to they
produce “Satire.”
Case closed, except
for Trump and his “deplorables” who will believe anything Trump says, mostly
lies BTW, and anything else is just as he says: “Fake News or a Hoax, or a
Witch Hunt.” The truth and facts don’t matter with them. This example proves that
once again. Don’t believe me – just listen to your local radio right wing Talk
Show. That topic comes up all the time when Trump needs to be fluffed and
defended – which is almost daily.
So, how and when did Clinton actually use
that word: “deplorables?” Seen here
from TIME (September 10, 2016)
is her full statement on how and when that word was used and in the full context.
Then her apology for being grossly too general. But, no one around Trump (and
especially Trump himself) ever accepts any apology from anyone. It’s easier to
pick and choose sound bites and run with them, just like this example.
To me, that is both
deplorable and flat out wrong.
Thanks for stopping by.
