Rabid Trump Supporter Explodes When a Reporter Tries to Correct Him (Politely) With Facts

By

Three days ago, I watched Lindsey Graham defend Trump on espionage charges.

Graham asserted, “Trump is NOT a spy!” Well, that’s a point that I will not concede because it’s very difficult to prove a negative.

The point is that an espionage charge doesn’t require handing the top-secret material to anyone, never mind a spy. It only requires proof that you held the top-secret documents in a place in which you cannot have top-secret documents. It has been described that top-secret documents shown to people in Congress can only be done in a “SCIF” (Heavily guarded room) and the documents in the SCIF are locked away in a SAFE that sits in a room you can’t access without clearance.

They are not supposed to leave the West Wing to even go to the residence.

Trump took them to a shed outside his pool and had some on his desk.

My point is that MAGAs know the facts but will cite facts they know to be wrong and, when challenged on those facts, go absolutely nuts, as what happened to a MAGA influencer who claimed that Biden cost America 70,000 jobs on his first day in office.

From Boing Boing’s report

First, the interviewer note.d that gas prices and inflation are global (Ask the world about the Great Depression, Hitler rose to power during the Great Depression with promises to end it).

MAGA man Jordan Chariton answered: “That’s bullshit!”

There is a comeback! Impossible to prove wrong! Wait, no.

Charlton: Day one, Biden shot down oil jobs across the country. He killed 70,000 jobs!” the gentleman shouted. “On day one! Don’t tell me that has no effect.”

Interviewer: “Keystone pipeline was not 70,000 jobs,”

But when asked where these 70,000 lost jobs were, he only grew more agitated. “Do you think I have books!?” he snarled, pretending to search his own pockets with exaggerated gestures.

May I interject? No, no one expects you to have the books. But he could have pointed to where he found the figure. So he tried a different lie.

Charlton: “I don’t think it’s possible on ‘day one'”… he began. But the gentleman wanted nothing to do with critical thinking and immediately shut it down.

“Look it up!” he hollered, eventually calling Chariton a “motherfucker.”
