The funny thing about Nikki Haleygate

Her Republican opponents are suddenly black history experts calling out how wrong she was for not mentioning slavery as the cause of the Civil War. But If Smelly Cheeto had made the same inaccurate remarks they would all be obediently silent. Zero character on that side.

The violent brigade of Mama's Basement Battalion (Y'allQaeda) answers directly to Smelly, not Putin.

His nitwit brigade would be flooding the zone with shit, cherry-picking quotes and fly-specking articles about the Civil War to try to convince anyone who wasn't an imbecile or a major media reporter that what Stinky had blarped out was the 100% gospel truth.

My understanding is that the media was on this immediately. I think this would have been a big story in any case.

Did tfg do something over the past couple of days to add fuel to the fire? I've been a little out of touch for the past few days.

She said what she said and then doubled down later. She's being taken to task because people were gobsmacked by what she said. I don't think TFG has anything to do with this.
