Only in the minds of people whose brains long ago lost the capability of rational thought. Conservative media makes people stupid.
 
Did they actually say "Hacked"? Or did they say that Russia tried to interfere by using false posts in social media?
 
Get ready.......here comes the long list of excuses, twisting an obfuscation from the left.......

Why was the lie promoted that Russia hacked the election?
 
Yes, people said it at one time and they were wrong. But they have since corrected themselves.

Nowadays just randos on social media still claim Russia hacked the election of 2016.

Digging up old footage as some pretend "gotcha" isn't going to work.

Point me to where in the intelligence reports that you and Gabbard are claiming were manipulated it says that Russia hacked the election. Or have you already given up on that claim?
 
Pretty shameless of the Federalist to be publishing articles like this following their work promoting the Big Lie.

"While ballots were being counted in the 2020 election, The Federalist made false claims of large-scale fraud. One of The Federalist's tweets said, "Yes, Democrats Are Trying To Steal The Election In Michigan, Wisconsin, And Pennsylvania." The website falsely insinuated that fraud was occurring in Michigan. While other news outlets quickly showed that the purported fraud was a clerical error that was quickly corrected; The Federalist did not delete the story, which had gone viral. Co-founder Sean Davis shared the misleading story, leading Twitter to tag his post as containing disputed information.

Republican congressman Cliff Bentz of Oregon referenced Federalist articles as the source of his allegation during a town hall in La Grande that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg "bought" the 2020 election for Joe Biden by financing a 503(c)(3) non-profit to expand poll worker training and security."

Why are you and Gabbard pushing lies that intelligence reports were manipulated?

So you refuse to answer the question.

Not surprising you can’t bring yourself to do so. The facts are the dissemination of information was indeed manipulated as the attached video shows.

Where did the media get the lie from that said Russia hacked the 2016 election?

In addition. Brennan used a knowingly discredited stelle dossier. That’s called manipulating intelligence

Can't watch it currently, did they retract the statement?

If they did really doesn’t matter. The horse had left the barn.
 
I just think it's so telling that you have changed the nature of your claim in less than 24 hours. The intelligence documents are in fact consistent. So now you are turning to media hyperbole to try to cover for your failure to prove Gabbard's claim. The answer to your question is I don't know, but it doesn't matter. Now answer mine: why are you and Gabbard pushing lies about manipulation of intelligence reports?

We know the answer. Partisan trolling, and defending your pedophile.

Actually, a retraction is an admission that they were wrong in their earlier comments and wanted to correct them.

You can't say "no take backs" unless you apply that everywhere.
 
To answer. The Steele dossier has long been debunked.

Brennan used it as a foundation for the assessment.

Are you disputing this fact?

The intent was to damage Trump. It wasn’t just a case of bad reporting.

Yes, because it's not a fact.


Again, why do you insist on promoting lies?
 
It's laughable at this point that the main defense this administration has of an issue their president created is re-litigating old issues. Much of this has proven how right Trump was about what he thinks of his base and how easily he feels he can manipulate them to parrot whatever he says, as is proven in this and other threads. But sure, let's go down memory lane and waste time and money rehashing things just because they serve to distract from Trump's self created fiasco and the rogue MAGA supporters who chose not to believe his deflections on releasing the Epstein files.

AI? LMAO. It’s regurgitating the lie.

Brennan used the Stelle dossier knowing it was discredited by the intelligence community. Then had the nerve to testify under oath he had “high confidence” in his ordered assessment that used the debunked report.

Accept the truth for what it is.

And you have proof of their intent?

That is why there has been a criminal referral to DOJ thus launching the Strike Force to investigate. Proof yet to come.
